Over the last ten years, Chicago has made tremendous improvements in pedestrian safety; yet even one pedestrian fatality is too many.

The Chicago Pedestrian Plan, released in September 2012, is guide to the tools, policies and programs to make Chicago the safest city in the country for pedestrians.

The plan is the result of a year-long effort by CDOT, the Mayor's Pedestrian Advisory Council and Chicagoans from every neighborhood, who came together in a series of public meetings to develop a plan of action.
