Vision Zero Action Plan - 2017 | Page 21

Vision Zero in Action
This plan also complements the City’ s ongoing traffic-safety efforts. All City departments are constantly coordinating to deliver projects that improve traffic safety. For example, between 2013 and 2016, six of the High-Injury Network priority intersections underwent safety improvements and have demonstrated early successes in eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries. Additionally, the City has secured funding for projects at an additional nine intersections on the High-Injury Network. The table below presents some examples of a larger body of projects that have been completed to improve traffic safety. Check the website as the City continues to provide project updates.
