The Metro Human Relations Commission voted to send a traffic-safety letter to Metro Council urging clearer timelines and monitoring for projects tied to Vision Zero and other street-safety investments.
Commissioners praised the letter's tone but urged edits to make the commission's concern about pedestrian deaths and student safety more direct. They discussed that several Vision Zero projects have been delayed, with some funds reallocated, and asked staff to track planned curb ramps, crossings and project schedules and report back to the commission.
Edy Tucker and staff said they will review project plans and timelines and coordinate with Metro departments to collect implementation dates where available. Commissioners asked that the executive committee consider this monitoring work at its next meeting and that staff circulate an outline of possible next steps within two weeks.
What happens next: The letter will be sent after minor editorial changes and staff will return with a monitoring outline and any project-level timelines they can find.
