The goal of this daylong workshop is to reach out to law enforcement and fire departments to discuss ways in which Smart Growth strategies that call for mixed-use, compact, pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly neighborhoods with slow, safe streets can help them achieve their missions. The program will address ways to design or retrofit Sacramento County neighborhoods to improve safety without impacting response times.
