Opportunities for Action <br />It is up to all of us to ensure our streets are safe for <br />everyone who uses them, whether someone is in a <br />car or bus, or on a bike or sidewalk. <br />• Identify your community’s values and priorities <br />to better balance the needs of all users. <br />• Adopt Vision Zero policies and make safety your <br />top goal. <br />• Design your streets to prioritize people, not just <br />cars. <br />• Create and track performance metrics so that <br />over time, your community can evaluate how all <br />modes of traffic are being accommodated, <br />including cars. <br />• Focus on development near transit, especially in <br />your community’s downtown. <br />• Use existing streets more efficiently, and convert <br />space to encourage growth while also allowing <br />all modes to use the streets. <br />• Implement strong Complete Streets policies to <br />serve all users. <br />• Enforce safety on streets. <br />GetHealthySMC.org/HealthyNeighborhoods <br />Get Involved <br />• Find more ways to create healthy streets in <br />our short video: Strengthening Communities <br />through Healthier Streets at: <br />GetHealthySMC.org/HealthierStreets. <br />• Sign up for our monthly e-newsletter for the <br />latest on how to create healthy, equitable <br />communities and follow us on social media: <br />GetHealthySMC.org/JoinUs <br />Facebook.com/GetHealthySMC <br />Twitter.com/GetHealthySMC <br />#HealthyNeighborhoodsSMC <br />• Learn more about bike and pedestrian deaths <br />and injuries in San Mateo County, contact <br />Jessica Garner at 650-573-2737 and <br />jgarner@smcgov.org. <br />About Get Healthy <br />San Mateo County <br />Get Healthy San Mateo County is a <br />local collaborative of community-based <br />organizations, County agencies, cities, <br />schools, and hospitals working together <br />to advance policy change to prevent <br />diseases and ensure everyone has <br />equitable opportunities to live a long <br />and healthy life. <br />The collaborative is facilitated by the <br />San Mateo County Health System. <br />6.3.A. - Page 13
