City seeks public input on road safety

Press release from the City of Menifee:

MENIFEE – As the City of Menifee continues to improve road safety throughout its transportation network, Menifee’s Public Works Department is excited to share its draft Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) with the community.

This plan identifies emphasis areas to inform and guide further safety evaluation of city roads to enhance Menifee’s transportation network by reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The LRSP is guided by four main goals:

1. Identify areas with a high risk for crashes
2. Illustrate the value of a comprehensive safety program and systemic process
3. Plan future safety improvements for near-, mid-, and long-term
4. Define safety projects for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and other program funding considerations

To achieve these goals, the City is seeking public input on its draft plan to further identify local road safety needs.

“The Menifee Public Works team is working hard to develop a Local Road Safety Plan that will further improve the city’s transportation network,” said Public Works Director Nicolas Fidler. “Community feedback is a critical step in this process as it helps us identify potential areas in need of a safety assessment.”
