Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[danbrotherston]

7 pedestrians hit in 2 days and local news has nothing to say but repeating police reports and councillors are totally silent. How’s vision zero going?

I bet that 5yo hit in Waterloo was probably on their phone and not paying attention when walking too.

Mostly you're right, and it's just exhausting, hearing the same "equal responsibility/everyone has a part to play" bullshit repeated over and over and over again.

But I will say, they did bother to interview David Shellnut, who does good advocacy...but the article doesn't seem to really refocus the issue, but I wouldn't say the media is doing nothing.

As for Vision Zero, I don't think it's really been a policy long enough to make real change, but I never really saw the whole VZ policy that was voted on...did they actually approve something more substantial than the "tell pedestrians to be careful, harder" that most cities seem to use for the entire VZ strategy?
