The Richardson City Council received an update on the City’s “Safer Streets Richardson” Safety Action Plan, a comprehensive effort to reduce serious accidents on local roadways. The plan, funded through the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All program, builds on previous master planning efforts and focuses on data-driven strategies to improve safety for all users of area roads.
City staff shared findings from the first phase of work, including analysis of crash data from 2020–2024 and the development of information identifying where the most severe crashes occur. Public input gathered through surveys, community meetings and stakeholder engagement also helped shape a draft vision statement and guiding principles for the plan.
Next steps include deeper evaluation of priority corridors, identification of potential countermeasures, and development of a full draft plan for Council consideration later this year.
