What is the SAFER PEOPLE - SAFER STREETS - LOCAL ACTION PLAN?
The following taken from the executive summary - (CLICK HERE).
Speed kills cyclists and pedestrians. |
1.Adopting a ''Vision Zero'' policy that sets the goal of zero pedestrian and bicycle deaths.
2.Making texting while driving a primary offense to help increase enforcement.
3.Realizing the County's Greenway Master plan of building 500 miles of connected bike trails.
4.Facilitating a culture shift within transportation planning that places a higher value on pedestrian and bicycling needs.
5.Creating a Safety Innovation program to implement new safety strategies using technology.
6.Developing ''Complete Streets'' guidelines to help engineers and planners put moving people above moving cars.
7.Launching a Miami-specific education and enforcement campaign cautioning drivers to consider all users of the road.
This is the start of future discussions in this blog regarding Complete Streets and making our village streets safer for all.
I look forward to engaging in this topic.
