YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The City of Yuma is looking for the public’s input on how to improve road safety.
The city received a grant worth over $400,000 as part of a safe streets for all project. The goal is to reduce crashes by improving Yuma’s roadways.
They plan on doing this by looking at locations, posted speed limits, and types of crashes.
The city is asking for people to share their ideas on what kind of improvements they should make.
“I truly believe that safety is a responsibility that we all share, and identifying where we have safety issues comes from a lot of different sources, one of them being the public,” said Steve Wilson, Assistant Director of Engineering.
Patricia Quiroz, Shares what kind of improvements they would like to see.
“Maybe pedestrian crossings, I know there’s been a lot of accidents lately, lot of hit and runs, I don’t know maybe installing cameras,” Quiroz says.
There will be a virtual public meeting on October 20.
