(KAIR)--Input from residents of Valley Falls is now being collected in connection with the recent awarding of federal and state funds to improve the City's transportation safety.

According to a release, community input is being gathered to complete a Safe Streets for All Action Plan, as funded through the awarded dollars, with the City saying the insight from residents "will directly shape the plan's recommendations to help Valley Falls improve transportation safety for all roadway users including drivers and pedestrians."

Included with the release is a link to an online survey to provide input for the plan, with the City saying the survey is brief, taking about 5-minutes to complete.

The City has also established a dedicated webpage, on it's official valleyfalls . org website, to provide details, and updates, about the project, funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration and the Kansas Department of Transportation for the Safe Streets for All initiative, a nationwide program to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.

The City's dedicated webpage outlines the four key goals the City aims to accomplish through the action plan, including Enhance Roadway Safety, Strengthen the Transportation Network, Assess Existing Conditions, such as traffic crash data, Ensure Comprehensive Engagement, which the City says means gathering and incorporating public input "that is comprehensive and representative of all Valley Falls residents," and Set the Stage for Future Implementation.
