Vision Zero…

Council Action, March 17, 2015:

  • Reaffirm that pedestrian and bicycle

mobility and safety are of the utmost importance by pursuing a multi-departmental approach to complete streets and safety

  • The goal of complete streets is to

make streets safe and convenient for all road uses and for people of all ages and abilities

  • Santa Monica's Bicycle Action Plan

and Pedestrian Action Plan should incorporate best practices from complementary initiatives such as Vision Zero (no loss of life acceptable), and 8-80 Cities (if a city works for persons who are 8 years

  • ld and 80 years old, it will be good

for all).
