MJ is currently responsible for the development of the Complete Streets Policy and Design Manual for the City of Albany. The purpose of the Complete Streets Policy and Design Manual is to implement the City of Albany Common Council adopted Ordinance No. 2.11.13 for Complete Streets that requires that the needs of all users be considered in any future street construction, reconstruction, or resurfacing project. The project is related to CDTC's New Visions' commitment to linking transportation and land use planning to meet the Plan's goals for urban investment, concentrated development patterns, infrastructure that promotes health and smart growth, and planning and building for all modes of transportation including pedestrian, bicycle, public transit, cars and trucks. MJ utilized mobile mapping technology to document existing conditions for the complete streets manual.
