Bicycle Colorado and the Denver Streets Partnership recently shared comments on DRCOG’s Regional Vision Zero Action Plan. We are thrilled about the impact this Vision Zero Action Plan will have across the region by supporting communities in prioritizing people and safer roadways. We were also excited to learn that the plan will be used very soon after its launch to evaluate a new round of infrastructure projects. It is a great resource as it provides strong data and high injury network maps, a toolkit of countermeasures as well as area types to share information specific to each local government’s conditions. All of these will expedite the process for local governments to prioritize traffic safety in their planning and projects. DRCOG’s interest in supporting policies and a legislative agenda to advance traffic safety was also a highlight.
Bicycle Colorado and the DSP appreciated the opportunity to review and provide comments on an early draft of the plan, which we sent to DRCOG on March 7, and are pleased to see some of these comments reflected in the current draft. We reiterated several of our earlier recommendations not included in the current draft to strengthen the plan.
