Schumer today launched his push for up to $23 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) to help create a new, safer network of streets for bicyclists and pedestrians in the city after a series of increasingly dangerous accidents. Schumer said Rochester had among the <a href=\"https://rochesterbeacon.com/2024/06/11/rochester-launches-vision-zero-initiative/\">highest rate of fatalities per crash</a> of any midsize city in New York State from 2017 to 2021, with a record high 15 deaths in 2023.\r\nLast year Schumer <a href=\"https://www.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/schumer-gillibrand-deliver-nearly-18-million-for-safer-streets-across-upstate-nythrough-the-bipartisan-infrastructure-and-jobs-lawto-improve-local-roadways-pilot-new-traffic-upgrades-and-strengthen-pedestrian-safety\">secured $3.2 Million</a> in federal funding for the city to develop a road safety plan to finally curb this increase in traffic fatalities. Now Schumer is pushing for the final piece of the puzzle with a major infusion of federal cash to implement it, which would allow the city to reconstruct the most dangerous intersections and roadways with pedestrian bump-outs, raised crosswalks, upgraded lighting, creation of a dedicated bicycle “spine network” to link now disconnected bike lanes, and more to give pedestrians and cyclists the safety they deserve. "}}
