  • Safety analysis
  • Engagement and collaboration
  • Equity considerations
  • Policy and process changes
  • Strategies and project program
  • Tools and transparent process for measuring progress.

The City completed a Request for Proposal process that resulted in five respondents. The City selected Olsson to complete the work.
