The City of Roanoke invites residents to participate in Community Engagement Week for Vision Zero Roanoke from August 5th through the 9th. This week-long initiative aims to gather community feedback on traffic safety and includes a series of Walk Audits, informal engagement sessions, and information tables at National Night Out locations.
