Every
place
in
our
cities,
not
every
place
in
our
region,
is
safe
for
everybody,
and
sometimes
this
translates
into
many
crashes
many
injuries
and
way
too
many
deaths.
The
location
where
standing
here
today,
showcases
the
progress
and
the
response
we
gave
here
in
arlington
and
in
other
metro
areas
as
well.
C
How
did
we
manage
to
make
streets
safer
by
design
with
thoughtful
intervention?
And
you
see
that
behind
us
this
is
a
there
is
a
protected
bike
lane.
This
is
an
intersection
that
has
been
designed
to
minimize
crashes.
There
is,
there
are
excellent
sidewalks.
This
is
a
place
where
everybody
can
move
freely
and
safely.
D
Our
department,
along
with
our
regional
law
enforcement
partners,
are
proud
to
support
the
street
smart
campaign
stories
like
benjamin's,
are
why
our
officers
and
those
across
the
region
are
committed
to
ensuring
the
safety
of
all
travelers
on
our
roadways.
For
our
part,
law
enforcement
throughout
the
region
will
be
stepping
up
enforcement
on
traffic
safety
laws
that
protect
people
walking
and
biking.
Now
through
may
22nd,
arlington.
E
Became
a
vision,
zero
community.
Our
team
took
a
vision,
zero
action
plan
to
our
board
in
may
21,
and
we
have
been
actively
implementing
vision,
zero
with
our
partners
in
police,
other
departments
and
with
our
community,
and
it's
not
just
a
one
and
done
deal.
It's
an
ongoing
effort,
one
critical
injury,
one
fatality
is
too
many,
so
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
