This document outlines Napa's local roadway safety plan, a citywide initiative aimed at redesigning busy streets to enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Key strategic approaches include narrowing traffic lanes to encourage slower speeds, implementing no-parking zones near driveways for improved visibility, and introducing separated bike lanes, floating parking, and bike boxes at intersections to increase cyclist safety. The plan emphasizes continuous monitoring of speeds and collisions to measure progress and inform future improvements, with the ultimate goal of reducing crashes and creating safer streets for the entire community.
