About this Event
From 2013 to 2023, 3,200 pedestrians and bicyclists were killed or injured by cars and trucks traveling Rochester’s streets, nearly 300 per year. Eighty died.
While a nationwide phenomenon, per-capita crashes in Rochester exceeded those in Buffalo, Syracuse and Yonkers; Albany’s crash incidence was slightly higher. On fatal crashes, Rochester tops the list.
Last June, Mayor Malik Evans announced that Rochester would embrace a national initiative called Vision Zero. It aims to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all.
Join the Rochester Beacon's public forum on the issue in the Gleason Auditorium at the Central Library.
Mayor Evans, Councilmember Mitch Gruber, Cody Donahue from Reconnect Rochester, and others will be joined by Juan Martinez, a member of the Vision Zero Network’s Advisory Committee.
This free event is sponsored by Passero Associates and Canandaigua National Bank & Trust.
