A second round of community meetings will kick off Tuesday night as part of an ongoing effort to prevent deaths and serious injuries on local roads.
This initiative is a collaborative effort amongst Roanoke County, Botetourt County and the Town of Vinton to establish a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan through a program called “Safe Streets and Roads for All.”

Back in April and May 2024, a series of meetings were held in each locality that allowed community members to express their concerns and provide input on the problem areas identified in a Timmons Group study.
A Roanoke County survey asking for feedback received 121 responses and more than 400 people in total completed a survey to comment on high crash areas.
Local leaders say the September community meetings will help them find what’s not in the data and provide recommendations on potential solutions.
Here’s a full list of the meetings expected to take place over the coming weeks:
