agenda-report Statistics demonstrate that automobiles are the leading cause of death for children aged 5-14 in LA County and Santa Monica has adopted a Vision Zero plan to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. To this end, the following is a request of Councilmembers Zwick and Torosis that the City Council direct the City Manager to report back in 60 days on the cost and timeline for the implementation of a pilot program augmenting the city's Vision Zero plan with safety-enhancing signal improvements at select intersections, including: 1. Banning Right on Red at all “scramble” intersections in DTSM, and other select intersections where data indicates it would improve safety. 2. Reprogramming traffic signals to operate on "pedestrian recall" and utilize a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) at 10 priority intersections as determined by data from Santa Monica’s high-injury network, as well as data on frequency of pedestrian use.
