Cities Collect Resident Feedback on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Plans

Cities including San Luis Obispo, Richmond, Greer, Pasadena and Seattle are seeking residents’ input as they develop street and pedestrian safety plans. San Luis Obispo is gathering feedback on a South Broad Street plan, with near-term speed controls and a possible 2027 pilot featuring bicycle-lane and intersection upgrades. Richmond is using a survey to identify sidewalk, crossing, accessibility and connectivity problems for its first Pedestrian Safety Master Plan, while Greer is weighing intersection treatments such as protected left-turn signals and roundabouts in response to crash patterns. Pasadena and Seattle are also collecting feedback on proposed corridor improvements, with options spanning sidewalks, intersections, bicycle and transit facilities, and speed reduction. The plans generally combine public input with crash and infrastructure analysis to prioritize future safety projects.
