Cleveland Complete and Green Streets

In fall of 2011 Cleveland City Council passed a Complete and Green Streets Ordinance. The ordinance said that starting in January 2012, 20% of road construction spending will go toward sustainable transportation options, up to $1 million.  Below are some resources about the ordinances, and how tools we can use to ensure the new ordinance is implemented.
