Atlantic Beach adopts Vision Zero resolution to aim for zero traffic deaths and serious injuries
Summary
The commission unanimously adopted Resolution 24‑53 to set a Vision Zero goal for Atlantic Beach and to move planning forward under a federal Safe Streets grant that could fund future implementation.
The Atlantic Beach City Commission unanimously approved Resolution 24‑53 on Oct. 14, adopting a Vision Zero policy that sets the city’s ultimate goal as eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries.
City staff told commissioners that the work is supported by a federal 'Safe Streets and Roads for All' grant that funds planning and will make the city more competitive for implementation grants. Staff said a stop committee will transition into an advisory committee that includes consultants and regional partners as subject‑matter experts for the plan.
Commissioners asked whether the initiative would involve FDOT and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office; staff said regional agencies would serve as subject‑matter experts to support consultants and the advisory committee. Commissioner Ring moved to approve Resolution 24‑53; the motion passed unanimously.
