Safe Streets 4 All roadway study seeks your input online and at open houses

The City and Borough of Juneau invites all community members to participate in our comprehensive roadway study and safety action plan. We would like to hear about your experiences on Juneau roads, and where we can provide the most impactful solutions to high priority areas.

CBJ has generously been awarded a Safe Streets 4 All (SS4A) planning grant by the U.S. Federal Highways Administration. The purpose of the SS4A grant is to improve roadway safety by reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through developing a safety action plan focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micro mobility users, and commercial vehicle operators.

With the help of our friends at Kinney Engineering and RESPEC, we have developed multiple ways for you to get involved! Please visit our website at bit.ly/CBJSafeStreets to find more information on the grant program, take our roadway survey, and make some additions to our interactive map.

We are also hosting three open houses in February. Each will offer the opportunity to hear a brief presentation, speak with the Study and Action Plan team, and see some of our early findings. Please join us at one or all the upcoming dates:

  • Tuesday, February 4, Mendenhall Public Library Large Meeting Room, 5-7 p.m.
  • Wednesday, February 5, Dzantik’I Heeni School Commons, 5-7 p.m.
  • Thursday, February 6, Downtown Public Library Large Meeting Room, 5-7 p.m.

We look forward to hearing from you!
