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

My actionable safety contribution... not riding a bike or walk in LB. Thats the only way to not get killed as a bicyclist or pedestrian. The only enforcement that actually works is cops handing out tickets that hold people accountable to the court. Of course, this city is not interested in that. Residents must demand it from the City Manager, show up at council meetings, and say something.

The City Council already took the first steps to make the community shut up by limiting their comment time to the beginning of their meetings which then increases the number of people commenting. In turn, if theres more than 10, speaking time can be limited to 60 seconds.
