Congressman Cohen has consistently sponsored road safety and Complete Streets initiatives that reduce crashes, improve pedestrian access, and make neighborhoods more livable.
Continue sponsoring road safety and Complete Streets initiatives that reduce crashes, improve pedestrian access, and make neighborhoods more livable.
Occurrences
Evidence
Cohen announced a U.S. DOT Regional Infrastructure Accelerators grant for an array of local transportation infrastructure projects in Memphis.
The FY2026 request list includes a Monroe Plaza and Extended Pedestrian Infrastructure Improvements Project and an airport project to enhance ADA access and roadway safety.
Assessments
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.
