Funded by a $160,000 federal grant, the initiative aims to gather data on high-injury and high-traffic fatality areas to inform improvements. Mayor Keith Gaskin emphasized the importance of this project, which may address sidewalks, bicycle lanes, traffic lights, and hazardous roads. Engineers, in collaboration with MDOT and local police, will identify key areas needing upgrades.
