We all owe Chris Bosley and the Ped/Bike Committee a big thank you for this policy.  

From the Complete Streets Newsletter:

First Policy in Idaho!
The Coeur d’Alene City Council unanimously adopted a complete streets policy (.pdf) on May 5. The adopted policy addresses streets, bridges, and public transportation stops in the community, with specific policies for rural areas. The City’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Committee aimed to have a long-term planning tool to facilitate accessibility for bicyclists and those with disabilities, as well as general multi-modalism. Councilman Goodlander commented that the policy is an opportunity for the city to move into the future, when cars are not the only way to travel.
