Vision Zero Public Art
About the Project
Vision Zero is a City initiative and an international movement founded on the belief that traffic deaths and severe injuries are unacceptable. The FY2024-2026 Public Art Annual Workplan identified Vision Zero coordination as a top public art program priority and describes numerous areas for project development and potential for coordination in order to meet the Vision Zero goal of eliminating fatal and severe traffic injuries in the City of Alexandria by 2028.
The Public Art Annual Workplan recommends that a prototype project (or pilot) be initiated. An asphalt art pilot location has been identified through coordination with the Department of Transportation & Environmental Services in an area where curb extensions are planned. The appointed task force members are coordinating on the implementation of the pilot project and establishing criteria, guidelines, or a similar decision-making framework that could be considered for future projects.
