County’s Safe Streets for All Workshop Set for Alachua

ALACHUA COUNTY ‒ Alachua County will host its third and final Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) action-plan community workshop in the city of Alachua on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025. The session runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Swick House, 15100 N.W. 142^nd Terrace, and will focus on proposed projects and policies intended to improve transportation safety for all road users.

County staff will present key elements of the draft SS4A Action Plan, including a list of proposed safety projects and recommendations aimed at reducing crash risks on local streets. The initiative seeks to identify systemic issues that contribute to serious and fatal crashes and to outline actionable steps — both policy changes and on-the-ground improvements — to address them.

Holding the final workshop in the city of Alachua is intended to broaden participation from residents and stakeholders who use corridors in and around the area. Organizers say community feedback at this stage will help refine the draft recommendations before the plan moves toward adoption.

What the Workshop Covers

According to the county’s announcement, the session will:

• Present draft recommendations and proposed safety projects that form the core of the SS4A Action Plan.
• Invite public input on priorities and locations where safety improvements could have the greatest impact.
• Explain how the action plan will guide future projects and policy updates aimed at making streets safer for drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users.

The county describes the plan as a major public-safety initiative that emphasizes both infrastructure and policy improvements to reduce risks for all road users.
