Wellington has received notification of funding of its Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant application in the amount of $200,000 as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The funding supports the National Roadway Safety Strategy and a goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on the nation’s roadways.
Wellington has committed to Vision Zero and designated Wellington as a “Vision Zero City,” directing staff to create a Vision Zero Action Plan establishing a goal of no severe traffic injuries or fatalities by 2030.
Wellington will develop a Vision Zero Comprehensive Safety Action Plan following a Safe Systems approach, in accordance with SS4A guidelines, to impact the village’s entire municipal boundaries and several contiguous areas of unincorporated Palm Beach County that are critical parts of the transportation system. Wellington’s match is $50,000 for a total project cost of $250,000.
Wellington needs to focus on serious traffic from Binks rd to Greenview shores to Southshore, construction cement trucks, large construction trucks, mass amount of cars are short cutting from Southern through Wellington to get to 441. We need to come up with blocking southern & Binks for school safety and residents noise backing to those streets. It has become a freeway like 441 and not fair to residents
