WHY WE NEED YOUR INPUT
Between 2023 and 2025, there were 35 crashes at the Bennington/Saratoga intersection, including eight resulting in injuries and five involving pedestrians. That tells us this intersection is not working as safely as it should, but data can only tell us part of the story. We’re asking for your input so we can understand what’s happening on the ground so we can design solutions that make this major intersection safer for everyone.
Input Format
We will show you a few statements about safety at the Bennington/Saratoga intersection based on what we’ve learned so far. Please select how much you agree or disagree from the available options. After these questions, you will be offered space to write additional comments, and then asked to select spots on a map to highlight any specific areas of concern.
