Hi Neighbors,

I am working on some Vision Zero activities this weekend if anyone wants to join me. New Mexico has the highest pedestrian fatality rate in the country, and many of those are in Albuquerque. We are also high for bicyclist and motorcyclist fatalities.

To learn more about Vision Zero you can use this link: https://visionzeronetwork.org/about/what-is-vision-zero/

I am thinking about walking around Sunday and taking some pictures and maybe doing some of the following activities:

Walking Audits

Description:

• Sidewalk/crosswalk/path condition
• Lighting
• Compile data about the condition of facilities and report to the City (or PNM in the case of lighting) using 311 app, as well as emailing the full data
• Do some clean up
• Do some chalk decorations

Adopt an Intersection

Description:

• Make banners and flags and cross at one or multiple crosswalks to draw attention to people crossing
• Clean up around the intersection
• Consider using chalk/paint or other decorations to make the intersection more attractive

Letter Writing Campaign

Description

• Mail letters about VZ to Mayor, City Council, County Commission
• Consider doing postcards with a short pre-printed message and room to add your own ideas
• Could have kids (and adults) do drawings or color an image printed on the front

Let me know if you are interested!
