[Adopted 6-16-2014 by L.L. No. 2-2014]
In the interest of improving multimodal transportation options, safety and accessibility for all users, the concept of complete streets has been recognized and adopted in numerous localities across the United States. The Village of Celoron will make complete streets practices a routine part of everyday operations, will approach every transportation project and program as an opportunity to improve Village streets, will incorporate all relevant existing and future planning documents approved or adopted by the Board of Trustees and will work in coordination with other departments, agencies and jurisdictions to achieve complete streets. Complete streets design and practices include, but are not limited to, sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps, accessibility features for people with disabilities, paved shoulders for biking, designated bike lanes, off-road paths, signage and traffic calming measures.
Complete streets designs and practices shall be incorporated in new construction and reconstruction projects in the Village, except when the Highway Superintendent demonstrates that one of the following conditions is met:
A. 
Bicyclists and pedestrians are prohibited by law from using the roadway. In this instance, bicyclists and pedestrians will be accommodated elsewhere within the right-of-way or within the same transportation corridor; or
B. 
The cost would be excessively disproportionate to the need based on the following factors: population density, land use, projected and current traffic volumes, and projected and current bicycle and pedestrian use; or
C. 
The existing right-of-way does not allow for sidewalks, paved shoulders or other improvements, in which case potential alternatives will include the appropriate use of lane restriping, signage, traffic calming measures and/or enhanced education and enforcement; or
D. 
Where severe topographic or natural resource constraints prohibit such accommodations; or
E. 
Where conditions or restrictions outside the purview of the Village of Celoron prohibit such actions.
Complete streets designs and practices shall be provided and maintained in accordance with the guidelines adopted by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and with best practices identified by the Village of Celoron Highway Department.
