Engagement Findings + Council Presentation

During the January 7 City Council meeting, city staff presented an informational session with findings from the Vision Zero research and engagement undertaken in 2024. Play the entire presentation on the city's CivicClerk portal. The presentation begins at 1:18:25.

Key Findings

Some key findings include:

• Over the past 10 years, the majority of Greeley's severe and fatal crashes have occurred in Wards I and II. 84 percent of bicycle and pedestrian fatalities and severe injuries also occurred in Wards I and II.
• 43% of fatal and severe crashes take place on just 9% of Greeley's streets. This is the high risk network.
  • These streets share certain characteristics: They tend to be high-speed and high-volume corridors, in proximity to school zones, with mixed use for both commercial and residential purposes.

Next Steps

The City of Greeley has received a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to construct quick-build projects to resolve some of the most pressing safety concerns around Greeley.

Staff have requested City Council undertake a resolution in support of the Vision Zero plan at the January 21 meeting in order to meet the requirements of the grant and begin work on the action plan.
