As Denver recommits to its Vision Zero plan to eliminate all traffic-related deaths on city streets by 2030, one group is hoping the city prioritizes funding to make sure that plan actually happens.
As traffic fatalities in Denver continue to be a growing issue, the city announced Wednesday that it is recommitting to its 2017 Vision Zero plan that aims to eliminate traffic deaths by 2030.
The Denverite reports that in 2022, 84 people died on city streets, and 386 crashes resulted in serious injuries. While the plan sounds good on the surface, Denver Streets Partnership hopes new city leadership prioritizes funding for the plan, which will need significant money and resources to accomplish.
The organization demonstrated along Federal Boulevard and 36th Ave. Thursday, where 32-year-old Ainsley O'Niel was struck and killed by a car while riding her bike just six months ago.
