TITLE:
Consideration and Approval of Letter of Support: MetroPlan Flagstaff Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Planning Grant.
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the letter of support.
Executive Summary:
This planning project will address matters for all road users and will result in both future infrastructure projects and programs that can improve safety in our region and within the City of Flagstaff.
MetroPlan and its partner agencies are in a strong position to lead in both safety and equity. The data shows that we need to do more for all road users, particularly, our pedestrians and bicyclists who generally have a significantly higher rate of exposure to safety issues on roadways. Additionally, this planning project addresses equity issues by providing a foundation for prioritizing pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements for our most vulnerable and underserved community members.
