We're looking for people to tell us where they feel unsafe or have concerns. From the PIP: The purpose of this initial community meeting is to introduce the project and hear from the community where they feel safe or unsafe, where speed is an issue, where gaps exist in the pedestrian network and learn about winter maintenance challenges. We will use this information to identify safety needs (Task 3) and prioritize recommendations (Task 2).
