Loveland adopts Vision Zero proclamation to pursue elimination of traffic fatalities
Summary
City council proclaimed a formal Vision Zero commitment and heard a presentation from City Engineer Nicole Hahn about crash data and a roadmap to reduce serious injuries and deaths on city streets.
The Loveland City Council adopted a Vision Zero proclamation and heard a presentation from city staff committing the city to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries.
Nicole Hahn, City Engineer for the City of Loveland, accepted the proclamation on behalf of the city and said the declaration "represents a commitment to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways. Every life lost on our streets is 1 too many." Hahn noted that 28 people in Loveland died in traffic crashes between 2020 and 2024 and that the city's "roadmap to safety" — developed through crash-data analysis and community outreach — guides investment and priorities.
Hahn described cross-departmental partnerships among Public Works, the Loveland Police Department and Loveland Fire Rescue Authority to prioritize safety through planning, engineering, education, enforcement and maintenance. The proclamation cites state and federal safety initiatives and the city's comprehensive transportation plan, Connect Loveland, as the policy foundation.
Decision: Council adopted the Vision Zero proclamation (ceremonial action). The proclamation states a goal of a 20% reduction in serious injuries and fatalities by a target date contained in the proclamation text and affirms the city's commitment to prioritize roadway safety in investments and programs.
Next steps: Hahn and staff highlighted grant opportunities and ongoing project prioritization through Connect Loveland and the city's Roadmap to Safety.
