As part of its Safe Streets 4 All (SS4A) plan development, Barrow County officials will hold two open house events to collect citizen feedback on transportation safety in the community.
The events, which will be held from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 26 at the Barrow County Historic Courthouse (30 N. Broad St, Winder, GA), will include an overview of a recent safety analysis conducted on Barrow County’s roadway segments and intersections where fatal and serious-injury accidents have happened, along with proposed countermeasures to reduce them in the future.
“As we look to improve the safety of our local roads, we know that the most important voice in the matter belongs to the citizens who drive these roads on a daily basis,” said Chris Yancey, Barrow County Public Works Director.
The event, which will be held in the Commission Meeting Room, located on the second floor, is drop-in style, meaning citizens do not need to stay the full allotted time to participate. Both sessions will include the same information. It is open to the public and free to attend.
