Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Daniel Losquadro announced the launch of a new website designed to gather community feedback for a Vision Zero Action Plan. The goal is to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries on Town-owned roads by 2045.
The Town of Brookhaven is in the process of developing an action plan that follows the Safe System Approach, as supported by the Federal Highway Administration. The plan will emphasize safer roads, speeds, people, vehicles, and improved post-crash care.
Brookhaven has been analyzing crash data, speeds, traffic volumes, infrastructure, field observations, and demographics on Town-owned roads. This research aims to pinpoint locations needing roadway safety improvements. The findings will result in a strategic plan setting out long-term goals and actionable steps.
Superintendent Losquadro stated, “I would like to encourage residents to visit the project website at www.BrookhavenVisionZero.com to engage via the interactive map and community questionnaire,” adding that the map allows for comments and suggestions at specific locations. He encouraged residents to participate in efforts to reduce roadway fatalities and injuries.
