2026-11-03

The project will consist of two focused safety studies ; a Vulnerable Road User ( VRU ) Safety Study , and a Roadway Lighting Safety ( RLS ) Study with respective mapping components . Both studies are intended to support a data - driven , analysis - based approach to reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries by informing future safety improvement projects and update the Township ’ s Vision Zero Action Plan .
