Key Dates

The Vision Zero team will be at A Day in Our Village to discuss traffic safety with the community. A Day in Our Village takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Scoville Park.

Do you have ideas for improving traffic safety on Oak Park’s streets? What improvements would make you feel safer as a pedestrian, cyclist, driver or transit user? Join Village staff at the Safe Streets Workshop to share your ideas and learn more about Oak Park’s Vision Zero plan. The open-house style meeting will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sat., Feb. 3 in the Rubinstein Room at the Oak Park Conservatory. The event will include crafts for kids, light snacks and beverages, and a raffle for workshop participants. 

Please join the Village of Oak Park for a Community Evening Walkshop to kick off its Vision Zero initiative on Thursday, October 5, 2023. This meant to be a fun, interactive walking tour to gather feedback about safety concerns in the Village. The tour will begin at 6:45 p.m. outside Village Hall (123 Madison St. Oak Park, IL) and take approximately one hour. 

The goal of the walkshop is to have participants out during typical hours related to commuting, evening activities and other walking/biking needs. Dusk and evening hours are the perfect time to understand the experiences residents face in the current infrastructure and the group can experience firsthand some of the opportunities for improvements.  

The Oak Park Vision Zero plan strives to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries on Village roadways. The planning process will be collaborative, with a variety of public engagement efforts and an analysis of current safety issues.
