Road Safety Summit

You are invited to a Road Safety Summit
Meeting in our area: November 15^th, 6pm

City of Seattle invites you to participate in a Road Safety Summit, convened by Mayor Mike McGinn and members of the Seattle City Council.

The Summit will center around three basic questions:

1. What do you think are the highest priority safety problems to solve on Seattle roads?
2. What do you think are the most important things to do to make Seattle roads safer?
3. We often talk about what government can do to promote safety. What are the ways that non-governmental groups and individuals can promote safety?

Working together, it will develop a shared citywide commitment to safety and an action plan that will lead to safer streets for all.

This Road Safety Summit consists of three gatherings that are open to the public:

Public Forum #1
Monday, October 24th, 6pm in the Bertha K. Landes room at City Hall RSVP

Public Forum #2
Tuesday, November 15th, 6pm at the Northgate Community Center RSVP

Public Forum #3
Monday, November 21st, 6pm at the Southwest Community Center RSVP

The forums will consist of a short presentation of background data and then discussions about these three questions in smaller groups. You will submit your comments at the end of the discussion period. These public forums are identical in format; to give input and participate you only need to attend one.
