Project overview

The City is working to create safer streets for everyone. The goal of this Vision Zero program is to:

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

The City will install a permanent concrete pedestrian refuge median to:

  • Allow people walking and rolling to cross one direction of traffic at a time
  • Create shorter crossing distances for people walking and rolling across the street
  • Improve vehicle yielding to those walking and rolling across the street
  • Promote safe driving
  • Lower vehicle speeds
