But if the city is really serious in improving pedestrian safety and isn't just trying to put on a show pretending it cares, it would challenge those developers and put them publicly to shame. The fact that it doesn't do that proves tat they are more interested in tax revenue generated than they really are in improving pedestrian safety. Tey only want to give the public they impression that they care.Pedestrians don't suddenly appear from behind buildings; the sidewalk and parking shoulder offer enough of a sight triangle at intersections to protect pedestrians. Increasing building setbacks would help reduce vehicle to vehicle crashes, but slower speeds would have the same effect without taking away valuable real estate. |
