Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is changing the rules for cyclists, pedestrians

Complete Streets is no longer just a buzzword for the Obama Administration and the US Department of Transportation - it's policy.  

Today, in his blog, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood announced that for all federal transportation projects henceforth, cyclists' and pedestrians' needs will be weighed equally with those of other forms of transportation.
