LELAND — The town of Leland is soliciting input from residents as part of the development process to enhance its transportation safety plan.
The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will outline policies, standards, and proposed projects to strengthen the safety of transportation networks within the town, including pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular traffic.
It’s currently in the phase of analyzing data and conducting public outreach. This fall the town will evaluate public feedback and formulate a draft, expected to be finalized for adoption by winter.
The plan will analyze trends in crash locations, types, and severity, and identify factors contributing to crashes. Its main priority is to reduce crashes resulting in fatalities and serious injuries.
The town is seeking public input on the plan using an interactive map. This map of Leland enables residents to provide feedback by pinpointing areas where they felt unsafe, experienced crashes or almost was in a collision.
Public input is also being sought via an online survey. The survey asks questions about how safe residents feel while traveling in Leland and which mode of travel they find to have a higher safety priority. Hard copies of the survey can be accessed at Town Hall, the Leland Library, the Brunswick Center at Leland, and the Leland Cultural Arts Center.
An open house workshop will be held from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on July 15 at 102 Town Hall Drive. Residents will be able to provide input and learn more about the plan at the meeting.
