'Safe Streets For All' Discussions Being Held For Union County Residents

UNION COUNTY, NJ — Union County, along with the City of Elizabeth, is hosting two virtual community meetings to discuss areas of high vehicle crash volumes in different neighborhoods.

The talks will include design solutions, policies, and other strategies to garner feedback that will be used in final draft recommendations for potential adjustments, the County said.

The recommendations will be organized by the Action Plan Advisory Committee that was put together to aid the project team and orchestrate the collaboration of County departments, municipal governments, regional agencies, and other community organizations.

Union County, along with the City of Elizabeth as a sub-recipient, was awarded a Safe Streets and Roads for All planning grant by the United States Department of Transportation. In 2024, the Union County Department of Engineering began to develop a strategy to prevent injuries and deaths on the road and mitigate other safety risks for residents.

The Union County meeting will be held online on Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m. The City of Elizabeth discussion will be held online on Dec. 3 at 6:30 p.m.

Registration is now available for both sessions.
