City of Ocala to Host Public Input Meeting on Road Safety
OCALA, Fla. (Sept. 2, 2025) - The City of Ocala Engineering Department will host a Community Road Safety Planning meeting Thursday, Sept. 4, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Mary Sue Rich Community Center at Reed Place, 1821 NW 21st Ave.
The meeting is part of a Fiscal Year 2023 Safe Streets and Roads for All grant, which provides funding for planning studies that will guide the development and implementation of safety action plans. These plans will address the needs of all roadway users, including motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.
The City of Ocala is leading the project in partnership with the State of Florida, the Ocala Marion Transportation Planning Organization and Marion County, with the long-term goal of eliminating fatalities and serious injuries on local roadways.
Studies will focus on strategies such as improving safety of city roads and creating traffic calming and speed management plans to encourage safer driving, particularly in residential areas and school zones.
Community members are encouraged to attend the meeting and share feedback to help shape the project's direction.
