The city of Boca Raton is getting ready to level up safety between drivers and pedestrians, and they want to hear from you.
“We’re really here to listen, to work together and we want to improve safety, it’s a team effort,” Nathan George, the transportation mobility and connectivity director for the city of Boca Raton, said.
It’s called the Vision Zero project , which has a goal to end fatalities and severe injuries within the city. A citizen input meeting was held Thursday.
WPTV“People will see changes to a traffic signal, they might see a sidewalk completed or it could be something big like taking away a travel lane and turning it into a bike lane,” George said. “It’s going to be a transformational improvement for the city.”
City of Boca Raton staff said over the past six years they’ve averaged 2,600 crashes annually. That’s seven crashes per day with an average of four serious injuries and fatal crashes per month.
