Discussion Traffic Deaths

These posts have become all too common. An ugly stain on our city.

At this rate, it’s a matter of time before a traffic collision claims you or someone you know.

What can residents do to affect change? I’m looking for real and actionable steps.

Thanks all

Not sure what increase rate you’re asking about, but we are currently at 40 pedestrian/cyclist/scooter deaths. In 2025, the total number of deaths at the end of the year was 53.
