Additional Ideas Open-Ended Responses Respondents were asked about additional ideas Word Cloud: What street do you live on? they may have for improving roadway safety in West Orange. 149 responses included an additional comment, with 79 of them identifying locations and 73 of these related to a specific location. Because of this, these responses were added to the WikiMapping tool either as new features or as comments on existing ones. Comments were placed into categories, with a Word Cloud: Open-Ended Ideas & Thoughts secondary category assigned to some comments that included multiple topics. Of all the comments, four stood out as the most common concerns: 52 included a comment supportive of pedestrian mobility or safety improvements, 35 included a request for stricter enforcement of traffic laws in some capacity, 30 were general comments regarding changes to traffic management (including lane management, traffic volumes, and more), and 27 comments were regarding traffic calming. 25 of the comments regarding traffic calming were positive and supportive, but two expressed a concern toward, or outright rejection of, traffic calming measures.

Other moderately common comments included: 14 regarding bicycle mobility or safety improvement (including two opposed to bicycle lanes based on observations of Bicyclist behavior) and nine regarding speed limits (eight in favor of lowering speed limits, one opposed). The remaining comments covered access to transit, ADA accessibility, education, lighting, maintenance, parking, traffic lights and visibility. Of these, the only comment including an expression of opposition to such measures was one rejecting adding traffic lights. Safety Map An interactive mapping tool was also provided using WikiMapping. Respondents were asked to identify points and corridors that concerned them, and they were able to categorize and elaborate on their markings with a caption on their entry. In all, 214 points were placed and 63 polylines were drawn; this does not necessarily indicate the total number of individuals participating in the safety map, as many people submitted several entries. A large paper map for marking up was provided at public workshops, and these markings were added to this online map. Additionally, 73 location-specific entries from the survey were added to the online map, with 12 added as new points or lines and the remaining 61 added as comments to previously-added features. Points and lines could identify: sidewalk/pedestrian network issues, bicycle network issues, locations of concentrated unsafe driver behavior, lighting issues, parking concerns and barriers to transit. Additionally, respondents could leave positive remarks in places with adequate safety conditions. 48 WEST ORANGE TOWNSHIP: VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
