Vision Zero Task Force updates and more:
Our goal is Vision Zero, our strategy is the Safe Systems Approach and Complete and Green Streets is our method.
QUICK UPDATES
Town Council unanimously passed a town wide 25 mph speed limit, (even lower in school zones)! This is a work in progress. Now we need Town Council to pass a strong, updated Complete & Green Streets Policy.
As part of the Neighborhood Empowerment Program, we will hosting community forums to provide updates on Vision Zero Task Force work, seek pubic input and build understanding and support for the work.
