Looks like we have some work to do to make our streets safer. Hey, I have an idea, why don’t we have a vision for our streets with slower speed limits and proven life-saving designs?
P.S. Your headline says “Cars hit pedestrians and cyclist.” It seems that this was three pedestrians. Is that accurate?
Thanks Lisa. You’re right, it should have read 3 pedestrians. Fixing now.
