Roadway Safety Action Plan
Summary
Families of crash victims told the council the Road Safety Action Plan undercounts deaths near County 15th/Avenue 1E and County 16th/Avenue 3E because state crash data lags six months. Staff are running traffic counts now and a four-way stop or signal could follow if a warrant is met.
