The public is invited to help improve the safety of people driving, biking, walking and using transit on the streets of Greater Des Moines by sharing their thoughts on safety strategies and areas of concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The public input will help inform a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) being developed by the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The planning effort was made possible with an $800,000 planning grant from the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program of the U.S. Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want to take every step possible to further reduce roadway casualties,\u201d said Mark Holm, MPO Chair and Mayor of Ankeny. \u201cTo do that we need to learn from the people who use the transportation system every day \u2013 the people who know the trouble spots and have ideas for safety improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
