The document was part of a 16-page presentation made to the Saratoga Springs City Council on Aug. 16, 2022, titled “Safe Routes to School Maps and Bicycle and Pedestrian Crash Heat Mapping.”

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The city last week released new maps updating its 2016 Complete Street Plan.

“How can we make streets safer and more comfortable for all users, regardless of age or availability,” said Tina Carton, Administrator of Parks, Open Lands, Historic Preservation, and Sustainability for the City of Saratoga Springs. “This incorporates vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and transit users.”

Carton delivered a presentation featuring updated maps to the City Council on Aug. 16. 

The plan created GIS mapping, and included updated Bicycle and Trail maps, updated Safe Routes to School maps, and updated Bicycle and Pedestrians Crash maps.   

One of the points, Carton said, was to identify deficiencies within the community. “We hear from residents about safety and it’s a really good idea to understand where these crashes have happened,” she said. 

The two crash maps detail incidents from 2004 - 2013 and provide an updated “heat map” of the period from 2017-2020.
