He's written more than one column on Vision Zero but I read his April 14, 2014 column. An excerpt is:The number of pedestrian fatalities is a real problem and we need real solutions. The goal of Vision Zero is admirable but unattainable unless the entire city was to become a pedestrian mall. Of course, the speed limit on some streets should only be 20 or 25 MPH, but overly simplistic solutions such as a universal 20 MPH speed limit never worked and never will. Just like a flat income tax rate or a flat $100 fine for every violation would not work either. This excerpt is from his August 25, 2015 column: Conclusion Pedestrian deaths do matter, but the problem needs to be put in perspective and not exaggerated. The city attempts to tie pedestrian safety to every proposed transportation change. They emphasize that the proposed Woodhaven Boulevard SBS program will increase pedestrian safety. Yet not everyone agrees; some believe it will make the situation less safe for pedestrians. Where did he write pedestrian death DON'T matter? He DIDN'T. If you don't believe me, read the articles for yourself. I listed the dates so they shouldn't be difficult to find. |
