TransportationCommission | 2021-05-26 | 11 | Commissioner Yuen thanked Staff Member Foster and city staff for all their work on the Vision Zero Plan and was really pleased with the progress. She asked what city staff had learned from a recent fatality and two severe injuries that happened in the first quarter of 2021. Staff Member Foster said the fatality had been a cyclist and they had done a Post-Collison Site Visit. She discussed the ways they were planning on making the intersection safer and the entire corridor was slated for improvements. The other two collisions still needed to have their Post- Collison Site Visit. Commissioner Yuen said since the data went until 2018 was there any plan to continue to update the crash data and high injury corridors. Staff Member Foster said the plan was to do a full high injury corridor every 5 years. She also discussed other information that would improve and help her studies. Vice-Chair Nachtigall appreciated the data-driven analysis and commended Staff Member Foster, staff, and the consultant team. She found the information easy to read and understand. She stated as the parent of a third-grader the findings in the study were very challenging and unfortunate. She appreciated the new high visibility crosswalks and safety measures, and she was looking forward to seeing the full Vision Zero Action Plan. Commissioner Weitze asked about the crash data in the report and wanted to know specifics about the 33 percent of drivers hitting pedestrians in crosswalks. He wanted to know if that included straight-on collisions and right turns. Staff Member Foster said that was drivers traveling straight, not turning. Commissioner Weitze asked if they had the information about crashes where drivers were turning. Staff Member Foster said she could get that information for him. Commissioner Kohlstrand echoed her fellow commissioners in that this was great work so far. She asked when the Socially Vulnerable Map would be updated. Staff Member Payne said it was happening with the Hazard Mitigation Plan update that was beginning now. Approved Transportation Minutes 11 May 26, 2021 | TransportationCommission/2021-05-26.pdf |
