DIALOGUE & INPUT Vision Zero Public Input Map Queens residents shared 2,346 pedestrian safety issues The interactive, online Vision Zero Public Input Map offered New Yorkers the opportunity to identify pedestrian safety issues at any time, from anywhere (even mobile devices). To report a pedestrian safety issue, users panned across a map of New York City and zoomed to an intersection of concern. Clicking on the intersection caused a Google Street View image of the selected intersection to appear. Users then chose one of ten safety issue icons, dragged it to the precise location where the issue occurs, and provided comments detailing their issue (see figure below). Other users could then share additional comments about, or voice their agreement with, existing comments.

DIALOGUE & INPUT Website Findings At the close of the three-month online comment period (May–July 2014), location-specific issues collected at the Pedestrian Safety Workshops were geocoded and added to the online map, producing a unified geographic database of residents’ pedestrian safety concerns (see the Queens Community Input Map, page 35). In total, users shared 2,346 issues at 1,222 unique locations across Queens—an average of 1.9 issues per location. Moreover, Queens residents not only engaged with DOT on these issues, but with each other as well: users commented on others’ issues 346 times and gave clicks of support 1,081 times. Of the ten pedestrian safety issues identified on the Vision Zero website, in Queens users expressed the highest levels of concern for aggressive driving behaviors, such as speeding (26%) and failure to yield (18%). Consequently, in planning Vision Zero projects in Queens, DOT will pay special consideration to interventions designed to curb dangerous driving behaviors, such as Arterial and Neighborhood Slow Zones and traffic-calming measures, such as speed humps and road diets.
