Transportation safety plan goes before Whitefish Council

On Tuesday, Whitefish is poised to adopt a transportation plan aimed at reducing crashes and improving overall safety.  

The Whitefish Safe Streets for All Safety Plan has been in the works since the city was awarded a Safe Streets for All Grant in 2023. The city has completed an extensive planning process to develop the plan including holding open houses and holding meetings to engage with key stakeholders.  

Adoption of the plan will allow for future construction grants and is expected to outline implementation steps to achieve a goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2030, according to a memo from Public Works Director Craig Workman.
