Assessments
The promise was to continue sponsoring road safety and Complete Streets initiatives, not necessarily to enact a final nationwide law. During the same federal term, Cohen sponsored H.R. 3712, the Complete Streets Act of 2025, and H.R. 5452, the Safe Streets for All Reauthorization and Improvement Act, both directly tied to pedestrian access, crash reduction, and livable-streets policy. Additional Memphis transportation grant and pedestrian infrastructure funding activity further supports continued advancement of the issue.
The promise was framed as continuing to sponsor and advance road safety, pedestrian access, and livability initiatives rather than securing one specific federal enactment. The evidence shows Cohen continued to support relevant transportation infrastructure in the same congressional term, including pedestrian infrastructure and roadway safety community project funding requests, plus public advancement of a U.S. DOT infrastructure grant for Memphis-area projects. These actions are close enough to the promised activity to count as delivered, even though they do not prove completion of every underlying project or a broad national Complete Streets law.
