Pedestrians and bicyclists will have greater rights on the streets of Kingston if the city's legislative body has its way. "There are things we need to have in place to be competitive for grants and be ready for climate change," said Democratic Second Ward Alderman Tom Hoffay.
Converts to the "complete streets" design philosophy preach that sidewalks should be wide and landscaped with bushes and trees; part of each road should be designated solely for bikes; buildings should be close to the road, with parking in the back; and wide roads should have islands or greenery in the center to aid pedestrian crossings.
