It’s the third week of #PedestrianSafetyMonth and this month we’re highlighting the work of the 10 mayors in our 2024 Mayors Institute on Pedestrian Safety Cohort. Today we’re showcasing Mayor Lauren McLean, the Mayor of the City of Boise, ID.
Mayor McLean shared several ways Boise is working to reduce traffic fatalities and build safer streets including the establishment of the City’s Traffic Fatality Review Task Force, the City’s first ‘slow zone’, and construction of elevated, separated bikeways.
Mayor McLean explained how Boise’s Traffic Fatality Review Task Force brings together various stakeholders including law enforcement, road agencies, and the City to study where traffic fatalities are happening and recommend solutions to prevent future fatalities. “Out of that task force, we’ve seen recommendations to look at red light cameras to enforce red lights. We have had recommendations that [the City] create more breaks between where pedestrians are—and should be and have a right to be—and the cars that are driving on those roads,” said Mayor McLean. Those recommendations have helped support Boise’s goal of building a safer, more welcoming city for all.
The Mayor also stressed that a key component of finding solutions is community engagement and meeting people where they’re at. “Having community meetings [and] discussions in a more casual form in parks, at grocery stores, near schools, or even in senior facilities and other places within your city [allows you] to have conversations about how people get around, what people need, what they want, and then work with the partners in our community to make that happen,” said Mayor McLean.
