That's the plan.

Lol, join us on planet reality. Deaths and injuries from drivers running over pedestrians are at record highs with no signs of abating because cars are only safer than "ever before" for drivers, NOT other road users. Cars on the road are way too big because our nutless government lets the auto makers call the shots at the expense of everyone else's health and welfare.

Record highs? I think you’re the one who doesn’t live in reality. Please educate yourself.

Traffic deaths are not the same thing as pedestrian deaths.

I do feel sorry for your gullibility. I am sure that you read this from someone on the internet but unfortunately it is just not true.

Just looking at the last decade, the highest year for number of deaths was 2015. However, the number of pedestrian fatalities is actually pretty constant within defined range. When you normalize for population or vehicles miles travelled however, that is where you see declines.

So again, I beg you to educate yourself and evaluate what you read on the internet before assuming its true or repeating it. There is not a crisis of pedestrian deaths in DC.

The vast majority in wards 7 & 8 yet the measures are all going up in ward 3 where there are virtually no incidents.


What is the percentage decrease projected to be gained by these ward 3 measures? 0% because there weren't any reported incidents on those streets.
It is not a problem in ward 3 and it's a waste of resources to put them there but not where the actual problems are located.

It's like building a supermarket in AU Park and claiming it increases access to fresh groceries in the city

So you admit then that it is not a record?

Next you should compare the population from 30 years ago and today and also compare the number of deaths against vehicle miles travelled for each year. What you will see is that the number of deaths is actually quite low.

Motorist safety is not the same thing as pedestrian safety. A chart that has a bunch of figures about motorist safety says nothing about pedestrian safety. I agree that driving has gotten much safer over the past century for the occupants of vehicles. Now show me some statistics about the people on foot sharing the same space.

You have no idea how the data is collected, do you? Motor vehicle deaths include all deaths from motor vehicle accidents, including those inside and outside the vehicle. It includes drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, bicyclists, pedestrians, etc. The long-term average range of only pedestrian deaths from the total motor vehicle deaths is from 14-17% and over 75% of pedestrian deaths occur at night time and not at intersections.

In 1994, DC was indeed unsafe for pedestrians. There were 4 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 population. In 2020, while you think the city is hitting “record deaths”, that number has declined to 1.4 deaths per 100,000 population, which is 31st among states. What makes DCs record even more remarkable is that two-third of all pedestrian fatalities nationally are in urbanized areas. So as a city DC is very safe as far as pedestrian fatalities go.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I bet you to educate yourself. All of the data is freely available to the public at the link below.

Money should not be the issue. If Bowser can find the money to paint BLM Plaza then she can find funds to paint some school crosswalks and build speed bumps to protect lives. Just get it done.

Yes, the children can flap their arms and fly. Anything to prevent the residents from having even a tiny inconvenience.

So you admit then that it is not a record?

Next you should compare the population from 30 years ago and today and also compare the number of deaths against vehicle miles travelled for each year. What you will see is that the number of deaths is actually quite low.

The trajectory of the red and orange lines tell the story for the numerically literate that safety has improved dramatically.

Nothing in any of those lines has anything to do with pedestrian safety.

You seem to have difficulty with math? A little number divided by a much bigger number that is growing faster than that little number results in a downward sloping curve. Get it?

You seem to have difficulty with reading comprehension.

Motorist safety is not the same thing as pedestrian safety. A chart that has a bunch of figures about motorist safety says nothing about pedestrian safety. I agree that driving has gotten much safer over the past century for the occupants of vehicles. Now show me some statistics about the people on foot sharing the same space.

Gotta love the reading comprehension (drunk?) lady. She’s the harbinger of doom for many a thread. Once she’s shown up she dumbs it all down to get level and smart folks move on. I think it’s all been said. This attempt is had nothing to do with safety and everything to do with a few oldheads not realizing that their time is over

Lol, join us on planet reality. Deaths and injuries from drivers running over pedestrians are at record highs with no signs of abating because cars are only safer than "ever before" for drivers, NOT other road users. Cars on the road are way too big because our nutless government lets the auto makers call the shots at the expense of everyone else's health and welfare.

Record highs? I think you’re the one who doesn’t live in reality. Please educate yourself.

Traffic deaths are not the same thing as pedestrian deaths.

I do feel sorry for your gullibility. I am sure that you read this from someone on the internet but unfortunately it is just not true.

Just looking at the last decade, the highest year for number of deaths was 2015. However, the number of pedestrian fatalities is actually pretty constant within defined range. When you normalize for population or vehicles miles travelled however, that is where you see declines.

So again, I beg you to educate yourself and evaluate what you read on the internet before assuming its true or repeating it. There is not a crisis of pedestrian deaths in DC.

Of these how many in NW? Also big fat 0 injuries let alone deaths on these 2 streets.it’s what the headline says: attempt to privatize at your expense

I agree. I also feel bad for the drunk mathematically illiterate poster. Makes it hard to have informed discussions about this topic.

No deaths on those blocks. Just icy glares from people walking their dog in the middle of a street without sidewalks.
