Community Invited to September & October Safe Streets for All Events
The City of Ann Arbor is hosting Safe Streets for All (SS4A) informational events to share how the program is advancing Ann Arbor’s Vision Zero efforts to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. The SS4A Program is currently designing quick-build and speed-management projects on corridors across the city to make streets safer, calmer and more comfortable for all users.
“Our goal is to get out into the community and meet people ‘where they move’,” said Transportation Program Manager Suzann Flowers. “This allows us to have conversations and learn about how they move about the city while emphasizing the city’s commitment to safety.”
Project information and details about the following events are available at https://engage.a2gov.org/safe-streets-all-project.
