Alachua County, in collaboration with the City of Gainesville and the University of Florida, will host a community workshop to address pressing concerns about street safety and bike and pedestrian infrastructure planning. The workshop will be held on May 20, 2025, at the Thomas Center (302 NE 6th Ave., Gainesville) from 4 to 6 p.m.
The meeting will present the current status of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan and the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan, two major initiatives aimed at making streets safer for all residents. This is the second of three public meetings planned for these initiatives.
The SS4A Plan seeks to identify and address the systemic issues contributing to these incidents, focusing on policy improvements and actionable projects to reduce risks for all road users. This meeting will present a draft high-injury network for Alachua County and potential safety countermeasures developed in response to the traffic violence crisis declared by Alachua County.
In addition, the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan presents the first significant update to Alachua County's bike and pedestrian master planning in over 20 years, aiming to expand and enhance non-motorized networks to support safe, accessible travel for residents who walk or bike. A draft bicycle and pedestrian network will be shared for public input, based on feedback received at the first outreach meeting held on Nov. 13, 2024, data analysis, and collaboration with key stakeholders throughout the county.
RSVP to the event on Facebook.
