The councillorsaid he's excited a report on complete streets will be coming before the city's transportation committee during their meeting Wednesday.

"It accommodates all forms of transportation, which really we should've been doing since day one, and it makes those alternative forms of transportation a viable option," Holt explained. "There's an economic, there's a social and there's an environmental benefit to changing the way we build our transportation network."
