Safe Streets
The mission of the Congress Park Safe Streets Committee is to preserve the pedestrian village we live in and keep all streets safe through lower traffic speeds, promoting a culture of traffic safety and street design that prioritizes people over cars.
The survey results are in! Thank you to everyone who participated! We received 372 respondents from throughout the neighborhood. The results showed that the neighborhood is very concerned about traffic safety and walking and biking safely in the neighborhood is a high priority for almost all respondents. Many concerns were listed but traffic speeds, pedestrian crossing safety and the failure of drivers to observe stop signs were among the top concerns of respondents. The neighbors overwhelmingly supported a safety pilot on 8th at 85% and many would like to see more implemented thought out the neighborhood.
The CPN Safe Streets Committee is working on a neighborhood wide study and would love your feedback. If you are interested in getting involved please email safestreets@congressparkneighbors.org or attend any of our meetings.
