Background
The WW White Road corridor (Lavender Lane to Retta Street) was identified through the Vision Zero Program as a High Injury Network. This designation is given to areas where a significant number of pedestrian crashes have occurred. In recent years, efforts have been made by the Public Works Department and the Transportation Department to enhance safety along the corridor for all road users. In 2023, the intersection of WW White Road and E. Houston Street underwent a redesign and a mid-block crosswalk with warning beacons was installed on WW White Road between Lavender Lane and Lord Road. By implementing the WW White Road Safety Improvements project, we hope to make our roads safer for everyone.
