The City of Columbia invites community members to attend one of two public open houses in June to share feedback about the City’s planned update of its Complete Streets policy.
This policy guides how Columbia designs and builds streets to ensure they are safe, accessible and comfortable for everyone — whether walking, biking, driving or using Columbia Public Transit.
The open houses will be informal drop-in events where attendees can explore the goals of the policy update, share how they move around the city and help identify priorities for future street improvements. Staff and project team members will be available to answer questions. Attendees can complete a short survey to provide input.
Both meetings will offer the same information and opportunities for feedback on safety and accessibility. Residents may attend whichever date and location is most convenient.

Columbia’s original Complete Streets policy was adopted in 2004. Updates to the policy will reflect how transportation needs have evolved over the past two decades. City staff intend for the revised policy to better support safety, mobility and access for people of all ages and abilities.
It doesn’t matter how you get around — on foot, by bike, by car or by bus. Your input will help shape how Columbia designs its streets to serve everyone while maintaining safety and accessibility.
Learn more and take the survey at the BeHeard Complete Streets page.
