Last night, I attended the first Vision Zero Task Force meeting of 2025 at the Senior Center in Roosevelt Park. As both a Transportation Advisory Board member and someone deeply committed to Longmont’s future, I was encouraged by the comprehensive approach our city is taking toward transportation safety.
Safety Progress
The year has started positively with zero traffic fatalities in 2025, though we solemnly acknowledge the five lives lost in 2024. These statistics remind us why Vision Zero’s mission is so crucial for our community.
Current Initiatives
The city has launched several key programs:
• A bilingual newsletter improving communication with our diverse community
• Speed safety camera program enhancing road safety
• Neighborhood traffic mitigation efforts
• Major infrastructure improvements on Pace Street, Kansas Avenue, and Sunset Street
• Development of the 21st & Main Street intersection project
Community Engagement
The 21st & Main intersection project exemplifies Longmont’s commitment to community input. Over 700 residents participated in the Fall 2024 survey, leading to three concept designs. The city is currently seeking public feedback through February 17th to select the final design.
Looking Forward
Vision Zero’s 2025 agenda includes:
• Data management improvements
• Multiple VZ maps and storyboard development
• Community recognition programs
• Equitable engagement and action plans
• Updated roadway design standards
Upcoming Events
• February 14: Winter Bike to Work Day (3rd & Kimbark, 7-9am)
• February 25: Transportation Master Plan adoption
• April 3: Next Vision Zero meeting
The Task Force meets regularly throughout 2025, demonstrating our city’s ongoing commitment to transportation safety and accessibility. These initiatives align perfectly with my vision of building a Strong Longmont For All, where every resident can travel safely and efficiently throughout our community.
