Work Session - Safe Streets for All - 05-29-26

The City of Cheyenne held a City Council work session on May 29, 2026, focused on the Safe Streets for All comprehensive safety action plan. The meeting featured a presentation by the Cheyenne MPO and their consultants from Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, who detailed the federally funded project aimed at reducing serious injuries and fatalities on local roadways. The discussion covered the project's data-driven crash analysis, community engagement efforts, and identification of high-risk corridors and intersections. The consultants presented 59 prioritized safety projects categorized by short-, mid-, and long-term implementation timelines, along with a countermeasure toolkit and policy recommendations to improve transportation safety for all users, including pedestrians and bicyclists. The plan is currently in a public comment period, with finalization and adoption expected in June 2026. Council members inquired about the consulting firm's background, integration with WYDOT data, and how the plan would be implemented and updated over time. The session emphasized the importance of interagency collaboration and ongoing momentum to translate the plan into actionable safety improvements.
