ACTION PLAN Engineering and Planning Implement at least 50 Vision Zero safety engineering improvements at Priority Corridors, Intersections, and Areas citywide, informed by community input at project locations The Vision Zero Action Plan calls for safety engineering improvements citywide at 50 intersections and corridors annually. Starting with the 2015 construction season, DOT will set the goal of building 50 Vision Zero safety engineering improvements annually at the Priority Corridors, Intersections, and Areas defined in all five Borough Pedestrian Safety Action Plans. This will ensure a laser focus on the chronically high-crash locations where pedestrians are killed and severely injured, where DOT interventions will have a maximum impact. The safety engineering improvements will be informed by Borough Plan outreach findings and, as always, DOT and NYPD will work with communities to shape and develop better safety projects. Lastly, since Vision Zero ultimately means eliminating fatalities for all road users, safety engineering improvements will also include safety-focused bicycle, transit and motor vehicle projects. Significantly expand exclusive pedestrian crossing time on all Queens Priority Corridors by the end of 2017 High-crash corridors for pedestrians tend to be on wide arterial streets with higher speeds and aggressively turning vehicles. DOT will address these issues by installing Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) at every feasible school crosswalk on all Queens Priority Corridors. The LPI is a proven method of reducing pedestrian-vehicle conflicts at high pedestrian crash locations; it is a signal timing treatment that provides pedestrian-only walk time before vehicles, including turning vehicles, receive the green light. Add exclusive pedestrian crossing time to all feasible Queens Priority Intersections by the end of 2017 DOT will install LPIs at every feasible Queens Priority Intersection by the end of 2017. As noted previously, the LPI is a signal timing treatment that provides pedestrian-only walk time before vehicles receive the green light. 42 Queens Pedestrian Safety Action Plan
