• Prioritize projects already identified and ensure they are scoped
with appropriate safety treatments for all agencies
• Identify gaps and design and implement safety projects
• Further prioritization based on vulnerable road users, child and senior
injuries,schools, housing for seniors and people with disabilities, and
communities of concern
