Livable and complete streets goals are increasingly embraced by municipal leaders across the US. This support is critical but not sufficient for overcoming myriad obstacles to building the necessary agency and community support for specific projects. This article discusses proven strategies to tackle seven commonly encountered obstacles. Vision and high-level commitment are necessary to reclaiming urban streets for pedestrians transit riders, and cyclists, but the ground game of getting projects planned and implemented is equally important. Certain themes run through most of the practical solutions to obstacles that are often encountered in project development and implementation. First, for complex and difficult projects, start public engagement early, before project plans are set. Second, successful projects are about successful problem solving. Identify the problems up front and agree on the goals. Finally, be ambitious in your aspirations, but pragmatic in plotting the way forward. The immediate goal is to solve a problem, get something done, show results, and build from there.
