Mayor invites public input on Vision Zero safety plan, municipal surplus and master plan

The mayor urged residents to review and submit feedback on multiple city planning efforts. He summarized a recent safety-plan awareness meeting about the city's Vision Zero initiative — noting the city received a Safe Streets and Roads for All grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to support the effort — and said an online feedback map is available for residents to flag streets and intersections that need attention.

The mayor also announced a public open house on the municipal surplus property plan on the evening of May 6 at Levi Haywood Memorial Library, describing the program as part of a state grant-supported effort to identify city-owned buildable parcels to return to the tax roll. Finally, he reminded residents the city's master plan remains open for comment via the Community Development and Planning website and social media channels.

The mayor encouraged residents who could not attend in-person meetings to use online forms and said city staff will review public input as those plans move forward.
