Vision Zero is a strategy to end all traffic-related deaths and severe injuries by making streets safe for all who use them. The City of Philadelphia has adopted a Vision Zero Action Plan that aims to end traffic deaths by 2030.
To support this goal, DVRPC is studying Wissahickon Avenue from Hunting Park Avenue to Midvale Avenue, and on Midvale to W. Coulter Street. The City identified this area as a top priority for safety improvements because of the high number of severe crashes.
In fall 2024, DVRPC staff talked to people in the neighborhood, reviewed current planning efforts, observed road safety issues, and analyzed traffic crashes to develop recommendations that will improve safety, ease travel, and enhance life for all users. We are now ready to share our recommended improvements with the community!
Get Involved
DVRPC’s recommendations were developed by working with local stakeholders and gathering input from residents. Check out some of the ways that the DVRPC team is engaging the community:
Technical & Community Advisory Committee: This committee is made up of government and community stakeholders who provide guidance and feedback throughout the study.
Community Surveys: Community members shared their thoughts on traffic issues during fall 2024, and they will have the opportunity to review and comment on the recommended improvements in spring 2025.
