Agenda Title:
|
15TP015– Acknowledge
the receipt of the Rapid City Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Pedestrian
and Bicyclist Crash Report 2002-2014.
|
Summary:
|
The Rapid City Area
Metropolitan Planning Organization, in conjunction with the City of Rapid
City Engineering Services Division, produces a yearly Pedestrian and Bicyclist
Crash Report. The report categorizes and analyzes all reported pedestrian and
bicyclist crashes, and provides recommendations on methods to reduce these
crashes. While the report does not contain specific mitigation strategies,
it does recommend a re-examination of the methods used to deliver the message
of safety to pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers. Here are the highlights:
|
·
Priority should
be placed on efforts to educate pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers about
safety practices associated with non-motorized modes of transportation.
·
Particular
emphasis should be placed on programs to effectively reach the under 19
year-old age group
·
Additional
consideration should be given to educational efforts related to the risks
associated with pedestrians under the influence of alcohol.
