[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they want to drop the missing middle rezoning proposal and just do this one maybe that is a reasonable compromise, but upzoning everything is a bad idea. Vision zero is idiotic and unrealistic though. The goal of reducing traffic fatalities attainable, but we need to balance operational concerns with safety improvements. The only way to achieve basically zero traffic deaths would be to reduce speed limit to 15 mph everywhere. Ridiculous policy goals like vision zero will harm society more than it helps. [/quote]

+1. Stuff like this does not help attract new jobs. When people can't get from point A to point B in a timely manner, that is a deterrent to attracting businesses, especially when there are plenty of other jurisdictions in this area to choose. You'll never get to zero traffic fatalities as long as people use cell phones all the time while driving (which is easily about 25% of people) and there is rampant jaywalking even across major 6-lane roads.[/quote]
