THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 16, 2022 Page 13 Mayor announces the City of Everett’s commitment to achieving zero roadway fatalities Special to Th e Advocate M ayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce the City of Everett’s commitment to achieving zero roadway fatalities. The City of Everett has, for many decades, endured the negative effects of excessive vehicle traffi c on our roadways that has impacted the health and safety of our residents. Over the past fi ve years, seven people have lost their lives and 656 more have suff ered serious injuries on our roadways due to vehicles traveling at excessive rates of speed, inadequate pedestrian and bicycle facilities, unsafe roadway designs and signals and other infrastructure defi ciencies. These defi ciencies are the legacy of outdated policies that placed the speed and effi ciency of automobiles above that of our residents. The City of Everett recognizes these traffi c deaths and injuries as an unacceptable and preventable public health issue. As Mayor of Everett, I hereby commit the City of Everett to ending traffi c-related fatalities and serious injuners. I hereby instruct all City departments, divisions and personnel to work with the Planning and Development Department, Transportation Department, Police, Fire and City Services Departments as well other community partners to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and utilize available state and federal funds to achieve this goal. Residents in our communiCarlo DeMaria Mayor ries occurring on our streets by 2030. Achieving this goal will take a coordinated eff ort across our City departments and continue the work the City has already done to improve our roadways, intersections and multiuse paths in a manner that the safety and well-being of Everett residents is prioritized fi rst and foremost. It will require making smart civic investments utilizing dynamic partnerships with federal and state agencies as well as our many community partty deserve to feel safe whether they walk, bike, ride or drive. Each year, we are reminded of this as students return back to school and we see an increase of our students and residents walking our City’s streets to get to where they need to go. We have taken steps to improve our roadway safety by lowering our speed limit on secondary streets and adding better traffi c control measures, but we can do more as a community. As Mayor, I feel it’s important to make this commitment now more than ever. By taking these important steps, we will be able to achieve this important safety goal of eliminating roadway fatalities by 2030.
