Vision Zero projects

Learn more about the quick build safety improvement projects on high injury Streets.

Overview

We know that a small number of our streets (9%) are where the majority (66%) of severe or fatal crashes are happening. These streets are called High Injury Streets. We know that the following people are overrepresented in severe and fatal crashes:

  • People walking
  • People rolling
  • Historically marginalized groups

The City is installing quick-build safety improvements to make streets safer for everyone.

The goal of the Vision Zero program is to:

  • Make streets safer for all people
  • Reduce all crashes on our streets, especially severe and fatal
  • Create a more livable, walkable, and safer community for all

Report traffic safety concerns

The City has created an interactive map. You can use it to report traffic safety concerns along high injury streets. Public feedback and crash data will help create safety improvements along high Injury streets. This is part of the Vision Zero capital program.
