DIALOGUE & INPUT<br />

3.<br />

Achieving Vision Zero, and truly making New York City’s streets safe for all<br />

users, hinges upon an active dialogue between the public and the City. While<br />

DOT utilized quantitative crash data to determine the highest-priority corridors,<br />

intersections, and geographic areas in Queens, qualitative feedback from<br />

community members deeply enriches DOT’s understanding of these priority<br />

locations. Feedback collected online and via public workshops produced<br />

a geographic database of community <strong>safety</strong> concerns that will allow DOT<br />

to design high-quality Vision Zero <strong>safety</strong> projects that incorporate local<br />

knowledge of <strong>ped</strong>estrian issues.<br />

DOT took a proactive and innovative approach to community engagement<br />

to yield a robust dataset of local expertise. This section details the public<br />

outreach activities DOT conducted to gather feedback from Queens residents.<br />
