DIALOGUE & INPUT Community Input Influencing Design 56% of shared issues fall outside of Priority Corridors, Intersections, and Areas In late summer 2014, following the completion of the final workshop and the closure of the online Vision Zero Public Input Map, DOT compiled all community feedback, pedestrian safety worksheets, participant surveys, completed maps, and issues shared on the Vision Zero website. This information is being maintained and analyzed to support future public outreach, education, enforcement, and engineering. It will also be referenced in the following section of this Plan. The Community Input Map, combined with the Queens Priority Map laid out in Section 2, forms a geographically specific knowledge base of both quantitative pedestrian crash data and qualitative community feedback. This allows DOT to integrate local knowledge into Vision Zero project planning in order to foster a proactive, responsive project planning process at the borough’s highestcrash locations. A composite priority map for Queens is shown on the facing page. This map will serve as the basis of DOT’s Pedestrian Safety Action Plan in Queens. As the map reveals, the locations with the most public input and high pedestrian-KSI-crash density do not always overlap. There are several factors influencing the likelihood of particular communities throughout Queens to log issues, from the strength of local outreach and advocacy groups, to the location of workshops, to language and internet connectivity barriers. It is vital to the success of Vision Zero in Queens that all communities across the borough are given an equal opportunity to share their pedestrian safety concerns. As such, DOT will redouble its outreach efforts to communities with low levels of existing feedback, especially those in high pedestrian-crash areas (explained in further detail in Section 4). Also, DOT and NYPD will ensure that traffic engineering, enforcement, and education work will be conducted in the areas with the highest need, not just those with the loudest voices. 34 Queens Pedestrian Safety Action Plan
