(a) In addition to providing safe and accessible streets in the Virgin Islands, care must be given to incorporate best management practices for addressing storm water runoff, and modern, innovative storm water infrastructure must be integrated into the construction/reconstruction or retrofitting of streets and sidewalks.
(b) When implemented, Complete Streets must ensure beautiful, interesting, vibrant, and comfortable places that will enhance the livability of the Virgin Islands territory wide. As part of the Virgin Islands public realm, streets must be held to a higher standard for urban design at a human scale. Multi-modal accommodations and all territorial projects in the right-of-way must be approached as opportunities to enhance the aesthetic qualities of the Virgin Islands and its public realm through the thoughtful creation of place. Streetscapes must protect and include street trees and native plants, incorporate landscape architecture, public art, street furniture, pedestrian amenities and wayfinding signage, sidewalk cafes and street-facing retail, places of respite, and other elements that enhance the attractiveness of the Virgin Islands and foster healthy economic development.
