Essex County Safety Survey

• Help Essex County create a plan to improve pedestrian, bicycling, and traffic safety in SOMa and throughout the county! Fill out the online survey at bit.ly/essex-ss4a by March 31 to share your concerns and ideas using an interactive map -- especially on county roads like Valley, Wyoming, Scotland, South Orange Ave, and Irvington Ave. We'll also be asking for community input again later in the year for the creation of a South Orange-specific Safe Streets Action Plan.

Montrose Bike Lane & Traffic Calming

• South Orange is planning a roadwork project for W Montrose including repaving, traffic calming, pedestrian safety upgrades, and bike lanes! Learn more here.
