Data for: Socio-economic and environmental life cycle assessment of complete streets

“Complete streets” is a design concept for primarily urban streets and
intersections (existing and/or new) intended to encourage active
transportation by bicyclists and pedestrians by making streets safer,
convenient, and attractive for active transportation; motorized
transportation and parking are also accommodated in the design concept.
The social and economic performance indicators included in the social LCA
(SLCA) framework that was used in this project provide a great deal of
insight into specific and different potential benefits of a given complete
streets project. The SLCA framework is based on five categories of
concerns and 17 performance measures or indicators. The indicators were
tested in the project and evaluated for final recommendations for use in
future studies. The results are compared with the existing streets that
were configured to be vehicle-centric. The case studies were solicited in
more and less advantaged neighborhoods so that the equity aspects of the
framework could also be evaluated. Use of the CalEnviroScreen tool from
the California Environmental Protection Agency was also investigated to
assess the exposure of neighborhoods and their vulnerability to
environmental impacts in conjunction with the performance indicators when
evaluating the potential benefits for disadvantaged neighborhoods. The
document presents the data that was used for the SLCA, environmental LCA,
and CalEnviroScreen Tool.
