After securing $120,000 in federal funding toward a $150,000 project aimed at improving the Village of Hanover’s vehicle and pedestrian safety, Neighborhood Strategies was hired through a competitive bidding process to lead the Village’s Safe Streets for All Safety Action Plan. Currently in progress, the plan focuses on improving roadway safety for all users, reducing or eliminating fatalities and serious injuries for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and public transportation riders. It prioritizes safe streets, roads, bikeways, walks, and shared-use paths while addressing current and future safety issues.
