Project Purpose

This project will develop a comprehensive safety action plan to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries and to strengthen the communities’ approach to roadway safety for all users. The goal of an Action Plan is to develop a holistic, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries.

When completed, the Action Plan will:

1. Recognize the needs of all users of the multimodal transportation system.
2. Include potential projects that are feasible and applicable for grant funding.
3. Include conceptual infrastructure improvements with quantifiable costs.
4. Include an implementation schedule.
5. Contain recommendations for Education and Enforcement programs.
6. Identify the roles and responsibilities for implementation.
7. Address project evaluation and prioritization. 

The city issued a Request for Qualifications in March of 2025. After a competitive procurement process, Keller Associates, Inc. was selected to assist the city with the action plan. We kicked off the project in August 2025 and expect to complete the plan by July 2026.
