The study Included a crash analysis of accidents from the past 5 years, a speed study, cut-through analysis, and an evaluation of existing pedestrian/Bicyclist features. The results of the study were broken into short-, mid- and long-term recommendations. Traffic Engineering has now begun implementing some of the recommendations.

Purpose

The purpose of the safety study and Improvement project Is to enhance the safety within the Williamsburg area by implementing strategies that will reduce speed of motorists and cut-through traffic on local roads.

Status

Public Involvement

The Safety Study included two community meetings as well as two additional commissioner town hall meetings. Roadway users can expect to see improvements to be implemented with short-term recommendations being completed within 6 months, mid-term recommendations within 2 years and long-term recommendations within 5 years.
