[H+T--Friends] From AMPO's Newsletter

The Broward Regional Health Planning Council, Urban Health Partnership, Smart Growth Partnership and the Broward MPO were recently awarded a Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant. It will create healthy and safe places in Broward County that are supportive of active lifestyles by “establishing ‘Complete Streets’ community design standards to make streets safe for all users, including those who walk, ride bikes and use public transportation.” As a result of this Transforming Our Community’s Health (TOUCH) Initiative, Broward’s 31 municipalities soon will have the tools necessary to design streets that balance all modes of transportation.
