How safe are your streets? Sound off in a survey

The City of Edmonds is working on its Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, with the goal of reducing crashes and making travel safer for all modes of transportation throughout the city.

In 2024, the City secured a federal grant from the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program to develop this plan. The SS4A program is a federal initiative that provides funding to support regional, local, and tribal efforts aimed at preventing roadway deaths and serious injuries.

This plan will serve as a roadmap to identify locations where crashes and near misses happen often or are most severe, and where people generally feel unsafe walking, rolling, biking, driving, or getting to and from the bus.

The plan includes various components, such as the establishment of a vision statement, safety analysis, policy development, public engagement process, and project selection to address those safety issues. The plan’s completion will then make Edmonds eligible to apply for future SS4A grant funding.

This will aid the City in completing safety improvement projects identified in the plan. Work on the plan started in May, and completion is scheduled for early next year.

City leaders say community input is essential to understanding the most challenging locations in Edmonds for getting around safely.

Do you feel safe walking, biking, driving, and rolling around Edmonds? What areas, intersections, or streets feel unsafe?

The survey and map links will remain open through Aug.31.
