Safer Streets Action Plan Status Update
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Redmond received United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Safe Streets for All (SS4A) funding in conjunction with Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), through an agreement between the City and PSRC. With this funding, the City is developing a Safer Streets Action Plan. The SS4A funding can be applied to implementation, planning, and demonstration projects in line with USDOT's Safe System Approach. Establishing a Safer Streets Action Plan is necessary to apply for grant-funded projects.

This status update will provide an overview of the goals of the Safer Streets Action Plan, the anticipated timeline for the development of the plan, preliminary strategies that will be included in the plan, and upcoming milestones. body
