Carson City area transportation planners seek public input on proposed local safety plan
Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization has posted a draft "Local Road Safety Plan" for public review and comment. A Local Road Safety Plan is a method for developing a locally tailored framework for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing roadway safety improvements.
Within CAMPO, this LRSP identifies emphasis areas to guide further safety evaluation of improvements for local roads within the region boundary. CAMPO boundaries include Carson City, northern Douglas County, and western Lyon County.
Staff and stakeholders identified 10 Priority Safety Locations (5 segments, and 5 intersections).
Segments
1. N Carson Street
2. S Carson Street
3. S Curry Street
4. Saliman Road
5. E College Parkway
Intersections
1. N Carson Street and W Nye Lane
2. US-50 and Airport Road
3. US-50 and Highlands Drive
4. Goni Road and Old Hot Springs Road
5. US-395 and Topsy Lane
For each priority location, safety recommendations were identified to address the factors contributing to crash risks. Project sheets were developed for each of the priority locations containing recommendations and potential safety countermeasures at the location.
Please read through the Local Road Safety Plan Summary and the full draft document which can be found on the CarsonAreaMPO.com website. Comments can be submitted to Comments@CarsonAreaMPO.com.
The Local Road Safety Plan will be presented at a special meeting of the Carson Area MPO Board on April 29, 2024 at 5:00pm in the Robert “Bob” Crowell Board Room within the Carson City Community Center.
