Focus on Pedestrian Safety

Emily’s awareness of the need for pedestrian safety grew even more heightened when she became a parent living in the city. Walking around town with a stroller and young children combined with her frequent use of a bike to navigate the streets, gave her a unique perspective.

She quickly realized it can be terrifying at times to walk around and not feel that you and the stroller out in front of you are safe. She often received concerning inquiries from residents about particular intersections and what might be done to improve safety conditions around town.

Now, as an active member of the Hoboken Vision Zero Task Force, she’s able to formally address many of these concerns through policy to ensure there are both short-term fixes and long-term solutions.
