The City of Savannah will host an open house event to gather public input on the Vision Zero Program’s 37th Street Corridor Traffic Safety Project on Monday, Nov. 3 at the Bull Street Library.

Attendees can drop-in to learn more about the project and participate in an interactive budget simulation to share priorities for the project. An online survey will also be launched on Nov. 3 to accompany the open house via the project’s webpage at savannahga.gov/37th.

The Vision Zero Program, which operates under the City’s Transportation Services Department, was awarded a $9.9 million Safet Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation last year to, among other items, enhance safety at intersections along 37th Street.

The SS4A grant will fund targeted work at intersections along 37th Street between Bee Road and Ogeechee Road. The project will focus on upgrading signals, dedicated left turns, sidewalks, crosswalks, and extended bicycle lanes.

The SS4A grant also provided funding to update the 2022 Vision Zero Action Plan and conduct a review of planned Tide to Town trail crossings. The City will match the grant funding of $9,999,520 with $2,499,880 for a total project cost of $12,499,400.
