Safe Streets 4 All

Project Overview

In August 2024, CBJ partnered with Kinney Engineering and RESPEC to develop a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) plan. The project is a result of a Federal Department of Transportation grant aimed at preventing serious injuries and fatalities on roadways. By developing a SS4A plan, the CBJ will analyze historical crash data, learn about the safety concerns of residents, and develop a plan to create a safer transportation network for all users.

Project Purpose

The purpose of the SS4A grant is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through developing a safety action plan focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micro mobility users, and commercial vehicle operators. The project team will perform a data-driven review of the current state of Juneau’s roadway safety for all modes with a focus on fatalities and serious injury crashes based on the requirements of the SS4A Program. The team will incorporate Juneau residents’ input into the plan through a comprehensive public outreach campaign aimed at understanding the lived experience of roadway users. Residents will have several opportunities to help the project team evaluate safety concerns and prioritize actions.

CBJ will utilize SS4A funding to conduct a full road safety analysis, taking inventory of all previous crashes, historical trends, conditions, severity of injuries, community and partner input and other factors across the entire jurisdiction. The safety analysis will produce a list of projects prioritized by these data points to guide the implementation of the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP). The analysis will generate per-intersection crash rates and other metrics useful for ensuring a need-based, evidenced-based CSAP. Each project will include recommended proven safety countermeasures addressing the circumstances of previous crashes. CBJ expects recommendations will include low-cost, high-impact solutions related to visibility enhancements, roadway departure countermeasures, and more.
