Montgomery-area transportation planners want your ideas
The Montgomery Metropolitan Planning Organization wants your input in a transportation survey as it develops a Regional Safety Action Plan which would cover portions of Montgomery, Elmore and Autauga counties.
The group wants to know how it can make transportation safety better, keeping drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and bus riders safer.
At a meeting Wednesday, they heard from some residents.
“Maybe changing the roadways, you know, making it to where they’re more biker-friendly, biker lanes, only put up speed bumps, there very cheap easy to implement speed bumps where people can’t easily ride over them just a little bit more public transportation to makeup for individuals who may not be able to keep their cars to a safe standard,” Montgomery resident Kahner Calloway told Action 8 News.
“It’s our intention to try to address all of the issues, identify where those issues are, come up with a plan of action to address those in a plan, an action plan and get to a point of actually implementing those, needed safety improvements to make the system a lot safer than what it is today,” Montgomery Metropolitan Planning Organization Director Robert Smith said.
The group says some changes can happen immediately, while others might take one to five years. A few may take longer than that.
