Crash report: two recent fatalities; staff assembling Safe Streets grant after Vision Zero acceptance
Summary
Katie reported two single-vehicle fatal crashes this month (North Avenue at the river and Cedar Scholes into Whit Davis) and several serious injuries; staff noted the Vision Zero Safety Action Plan was accepted by the mayor and commission and that a US DOT 'Safe Streets for All' implementation grant is being prepared with a May 26 deadline.
Katie presented the monthly crash report and said, "Unfortunately, we had two fatal crashes this past month." She identified both as single-vehicle crashes — one at North Avenue at the river and another at the end of Cedar Scholes where it runs into Whit Davis — and noted five bicycle crashes and other serious injuries, including a pedestrian on Lexington Road and a moped injury on Lumpkin.
Jason and Katie also informed the commission that the mayor and commission accepted the Vision Zero Safety Action Plan at the commission's April voting meeting. Staff are preparing an application for a US DOT 'Safe Streets for All' implementation grant to fund construction countermeasures at priority locations identified in the Safety Action Plan; that grant application is due May 26. Jason additionally flagged RAISE grant activity for a North Avenue project and advised commissioners to watch the May/June agenda-setting cycle for updates.
