Vision Zero

Kansas City's streets are often confusing and dangerous for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Although the city has several efforts underway to make its roads safer, there seem to be too many "cursed" intersections to fix all at once.

From Southwest Trafficway to Van Brunt Boulevard, Kansas City's streets are confusing to navigate and dangerous for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike. The city is working to fix the worst, but there are too many to tackle all at once.

Kansas City has seen 44 pedestrian fatalities this year compared to 33 this time last year, raising concerns about street safety throughout the city. What's being done to keep pedestrians safe?

The city’s plans, like Vision Zero and Complete Streets, are already improving accessibility for pedestrians. But advocates say more work needs to be done for everyone to have equitable access to safety.
