CoMo to Zero Comprehensive Safety Action Plan

Meeting materials for the Feb. 25 meeting have been uploaded to the BeHeard! Check the documents section of this site for a factsheet and some of the informational signs that will be on display at the meeting.

The Pedestrian Level of Comfort (PLOC) project is complete, and a PLOC map is coming soon!

The new map will be an interactive, online tool that will quantify the comfort and safety that pedestrians and bicyclists experience at different locations. A PLOC score will be given to different areas of Columbia based on factors like roadway volume, speed, pedestrian and bike facility presence and quality, lighting, tree shade and more.

Check the Documents section of this site to read an introductory report on the PLOC map.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the CoMo to Zero survey. Your input is helping shape Columbia’s plan to reduce roadway deaths and serious injuries.

There is still an opportunity to share your ideas in person. Join us from 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the Activity & Recreation Center (ARC) for a come-and-go public meeting. Stop by anytime during the two-hour window to review information, speak with staff and continue the conversation about building safer streets for everyone.

The survey will conclude soon! Be sure to take it if you haven't at BeHeard.CoMo.gov/como-to-zero-action-plan/surveys/como-to-zero-survey.

You can also add pins to the interactive map.
