Traffic Safety Alternatives
Traffic safety plays an important role in developing a comprehensive transportation system, particularly in areas where real or perceived safety issues may prevent people from using more active travel modes, such as walking, biking, and taking transit. This room identifies traffic safety issues in the City and the alternatives developed to address the issues in the future.
Traffic Safety Issues
A review of the recent crash data shows several trends and patterns that could be addressed. The exhibits to the right illustrate the location and severity of reported crashes over the last five years as well as the location of specific intersections with potential issues. Please use the Interactive Map to identify additional issues as necessary.
