In Raleigh, National Safety Month this June is set to take on a tangible form with local efforts to make streets safer for all. According to an announcement on the official website of the City of Raleigh, the Vision Zero team is undertaking a mission to reduce and eventually erase serious injuries and fatalities on the city's streets. "It’s a big goal, but with community support and shared responsibility, it’s one we believe is achievable," the team shared on their page.
In a statement obtained by the City of Raleigh, the Vision Zero team emphasized, "these pop-up events are a great opportunity to stop by, say hello, and learn more about what we can all do to create safer streets for everyone—whether you’re walking, biking, driving, or rolling."
The Vision Zero team underlines the importance of each individual's role and responsibility in this collective journey towards safer streets. "It’s a big goal, but with community support and shared responsibility, it’s one we believe is achievable," as mentioned by the City of Raleigh.
As June approaches, those in Raleigh can mark their calendars and prepare to participate in these important discussions. Details about the Sidewalk Sessions and how to contribute to Raleigh's safer streets initiative can be found on the city's website.
