Gov <br />FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE <br />Anoka County Seeks Input on Safe Streets and Roads for All Plan <br />Anoka County wants your input to make its streets and roadway systems safer for all. <br />Anoka County is developing a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Plan focused on improving <br />safety on county roads and highways. This action plan will guide roadway safety strategies <br />throughout Anoka County to make our roads and highways safer for everyone, whether you drive, <br />walk, bike, roll, or take transit. <br />Anoka County urges residents and anyone else who uses the county road system to fill out <br />the survey and share a location or corridor they have safety concerns about by using the interactive <br />comment map at httns://alliant.mvsocialninnoint.com/anoka-ss4a/anoka-ss4a-man#/. <br />"We are committed to improving safety on county roads and urge all residents, employees, <br />and passersby to provide their input to help foster a safer Anoka County," said District 6 Anoka <br />County Commissioner Julie Jeppson, who serves as the county's Transportation Committee chair. <br />Throughout Minnesota, Anoka County, and around the country, traffic deaths have been <br />rising after many years of decline. The SS4A Plan is a powerful tool to reverse this trend locally. <br />The SS4A Plan will identify a prioritized list of safety improvement projects based on data and <br />stakeholder input. Anoka County will prioritize projects and secure funding to implement safety <br />related projects. <br />"From Anoka County's perspective, we are interested in hearing concerns on county roads, <br />but we are also interested in learning the public's opinions on all roads within our county borders," <br />said Assistant County Engineer Jerry Auge. <br />-more- <br />Respectful, Innovative, Fiscally Responsible <br />Government Center A 2100 3rd Avenue, Suite 700 A Anoka, MN 55303-5024 A www.anokacountymn.gov <br />Office: 763-324-4700 A Fax: 763-324-5490 <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
