EUGENE VISION ZERO <br />Where We Need to Focus <br />Residents of Eugene know that there are streets where more crashes occur than others . <br />There are streets that are more dangerous for people walking, people biking and people <br />driving . In many cases, these are the same streets . In order to focus future investments in <br />safety, City staff have identified and will prioritize streets based on the most recent available <br />crash data (2007-2015). <br />Eugene's most dangerous streets are located throughout the city, crossing through and <br />dividing neighborhoods from one another. These streets are in residential areas, commercial <br />districts, downtown and near schools . They are all streets with higher volumes of traffic, <br />because they connect people to where they need to go . Many of the streets have higher <br />speed limits, but even some with lower speed limits are the s ite of higher numbers of fatal <br />and life-changing injury crashes . <br />The Vision Zero High Crash Network consists of streets with a higher number of crashes that <br />result in deaths and serious inju ries . There may be other streets in the city with more crashes <br />that are less severe, but those are not the focus of the Vision Zero effort, saving lives is the <br />goal. <br />These streets are the City's priority locations for making Eugene a safer place to drive, walk <br />and bike. <br />The Vision Zero High <br />Crash Network <br />The network includes Eugene's most <br />dangerous streets and intersections <br />for people who travel in the city by all <br />modes -driving, walking and biking . <br />The Vision Zero High Crash Network <br />is a compilation pulled from the <br />top 15 most dangerous streets for <br />each mode. Fatal and serious injury <br />crashes for people walking , biking <br />and driving were mapped individually <br />to assess which streets were most <br />dangerous . These lists were then <br />reviewed with the community <br />to check public perceptions and <br />confirm that these streets have <br />the worst safety issues. During the <br />implementation phase of this Action <br />Plan , the City will take a closer look <br />at crash clusters along the Vision <br />Zero High Crash Network to focus <br />transportation safety improvements. <br />21
