(KAIR)--Your opinion is wanted regarding what Atchison needs to improve street and pedestrian safety.

That public input is being collected through an online Safe Streets 4 All survey, made possible, the City says in a release, due to a partnership with the Mo-Kan Regional Council.

According to Mo-Kan's announcement regarding the survey, input will influence neighborhood safety measures, help identify local concerns, and contribute to a safer, more accessible transportation environment for all.

The survey comes, Mo-Kan says, as an implementation plan is developed, with input from the community crucial to determining what need be done for residents to feel safer on local roads.

The Safe Streets 4 All initiative is aimed at enhancing roadway safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, with the program "committed to reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries through improved infrastructure, traffic management, and community engagement."

According to the City of Atchison, the plan resulting from the survey could help the City secure funding for related improvements.

Mo-Kan points out that the survey is not only for the City of Atchison, but the County on a whole, as well as Doniphan County, in Kansas, and Buchanan County, in Missouri, among other Missouri locations, all part of the designated regional planning commission and economic development district's service area.
