Vision Zero meetings gather feedback for safer streets

First City Vision Zero is an ongoing project to gather input from the public to help guide the City in making streets safer for all – pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicular traffic.

“We want to hear from the public on ways we can create a safer First City,” said Brian Faust, Leavenworth Public Works Director.

Faust said one of the reasons for the City’s launch of the new First City Vision Zero was also to compete at a higher level for grant funding. The First City Vision Zero Action Plan will lay out actionable, measurable strategies and emphasize design and policy solutions to enhance safety for all road users.

“Vision Zero is a data-driven approach, and yet it is the stories we are hearing from the community that gives us even greater insight and helps our team understand and address the traffic safety issues that community members experience,” Faust said.
