VisionZero / Safe Streets Meeting

The City of Somerville will host a community meeting on its “Vision Zero” safe streets planning process on Wednesday, March 27th, at 6:30 p.m. at the East Somerville Community School auditorium.  Vision Zero is a worldwide public policy movement that focuses on the goal of eliminating traffic crashes that result in severe injuries and fatalities. Somerville has committed itself to pursuing Vision Zero, and is currently preparing an action plan against which progress will be measured each year.  This community meeting is one step in an ongoing dialogue about how our community can accelerate positive change and safety and equity for all users of Somerville’s streets.
