26% DOT collected public input citywide over a three-month comment period (May-July 2014) using the community input map. Users of the online map placed pins directly at intersections where they experience pedestrian safety issues. In addition, DOT held two Vision Zero Pedestrian Safety workshops in Queens to solicit additional feedback from the community. Location-specific issues collected at the workshops were geocoded and added to the online map, producing a unified geographic database of residents pedestrian safety concerns.
In total, users shared 2,346 pedestrian safety issues at 1,222 unique locations across Queens. Moreover, Queens residents not only engaged with DOT on these issues but with each other as well: users commented on others issues 346 times and gave 1,081 clicks of support.
