Watch Out for CityLYNX! Be Streetcar Smart

The project will execute a campaign to include bold signage and pavement markings in the streetcar corridor areas along the CityLYNX Gold Line. CATS will be installing creative marketing strategies to educate the public that streetcar safety is important and to prevent fatalities from pedestrians and bicyclists being hit by the streetcar (26 incidents in 3 yrs) due to improper crossing and trespassing.
