The City of Canyon is developing its first Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Plan  to improve roadway safety. This Plan will serve as a strategic roadmap to reduce crashes, address priority safety concerns, and create a safer, more accessible transportation network for all users, whether walking, biking, or driving. Guided by data analysis and community input, the Plan will identify key safety projects, policy updates, and funding strategies that reflect Canyon’s values and goals.

Together, we’re building a future where everyone can move through our city safely and confidently.

Map It Safer!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first public engagement! The interactive map survey received 479 comments from the community. The project team is now reviewing the feedback and performing analysis to summarize key themes and safety concerns. Stay tuned for the survey results and findings.
