Redmond adopts Safer Streets Action Plan aiming for zero traffic deaths by 2035
Summary
City Council adopted the Safer Streets Action Plan earlier this year, a roadmap the city says aims to eliminate traffic-related fatal and serious injuries by 2035 and to help secure grant funding for safety improvements.
City Council in Redmond earlier this year adopted the Safer Streets Action Plan, a roadmap the city describes as a commitment to achieve zero traffic-related fatal and serious injuries by 2035. Scott Vandevanner summarized the adoption during the city's weekly news briefing, saying the plan "is a roadmap for commitment to achieving 0 traffic related fatal and serious injuries by 2035. It will also help the city secure grant funding for traffic safety improvements."
The briefing presented the plan as both a policy goal and a tool for pursuing external grant funding; it did not detail specific street projects, funding amounts, or an implementation timeline. The briefing likewise did not report any vote counts or amendments from the City Council's adoption.
Residents and advocacy groups seeking the plan's performance targets, specific roadway changes, or grant application schedules should consult Redmond city staff or the Safer Streets Action Plan documents for project-level details.
