Fountain Transportation Safety Action Plan
In 2024, Fountain was awarded a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) safety grant to develop its first transportation safety focused action plan. The first-ever City of Fountain Safety Action Plan (SAP) will identify safety concerns, develop a toolkit of solutions, and establish a prioritized program of actions to effectively move the needle toward ZERO fatal and serious injury crashes in our city. The framework to accomplish this goal is through comprehensive safety analysis, focused community engagement, impartially distributed safety actions, and transportation policy reform, resulting in actionable strategies and projects to improve transportation safety for the citizens of Fountain.
To help facilitate community engagement, a second Open House meeting was held at the Fountain City Hall from 4:00 pm until 6:00 pm on October 23rd. Open House #2 focused on sharing updated crash information as well as crash analysis findings for the most recent five years (2020-2024). An overview of safety improvement projects and programs was also be presented, and stakeholder and public input was sought regarding community safety priorities. The results of the Safety Priorities Poll will be used to prioritize identified safety improvement projects and programs for funding and implementation.
If you missed Open House #2, you can still attend virtually until November 19th to "walk through" the exhibits and supporting information presented. You can provide comments to the project team by using our project website Comment Form (link below), by using the Interactive Comment Map (link below), or by sending an email to the project team at: safestreets@fountaincolorado.org.
