who died after a driver suspected of impairment hit her and her child in Sugar House.
Shortly after those May wrecks, the city established a “Safe Streets” task force, which met twice last year. That task force is currently being reworked into a “Vision Zero” task force, in order to fulfill a prerequisite needed for the city to join the nonprofit campaign, Salt Lake City’s transportation director Jon Larsen said.
“We’re not an official Vision Zero city yet — we just expressed the intent, and so once we [complete the action plan], then we can officially apply for Vision Zero city status,” Larsen said. “Anytime you’re coordinating across jurisdictions, and agencies, it just takes more time and effort.” Joining that campaign means Salt Lake City will qualify for certain federal grants that require “Vision Zero” status, and officials will be able to access resources and strategies shared across the Vision Zero network — which currently includes Denver, Austin, Seattle andIn the meantime, Sweet Streets advocates hope to see sustained funding for “Vision Zero” that includes implementing people-first safety measures this year.

I spend minimum of an hour and 20 on the road every day. That’s with me tweaking my schedule to avoid the worst of the commute traffic. If even 2 snowflakes have fallen, double that because people are dumb. It's crazy they needed a study to find this. It is so obvious. How much did that cost? Hmmm...60 hours, over 50 (vacation) weeks, or 240 (holidays) days equal 60X60/240=15 minutes per day? Check my math. Yes, quite a chunk out of ones life.
