Interesting article about the origins of Vision Zero.  It is very different than what it has transmogrified into.  For instance, the very first project was removing concrete barriers.  One of the other differences is that roads are defined according to their main use.

In short, the Connectict Ave plan goes against the very ideas it is supposed to represent.[/quote]

You must have read a different article from the one you linked to.

[i]In 1995, a serious crash occurred on the E4 motorway near Stockholm, Sweden. Five young people were travelling in a hatchback car when the vehicle went into a roll near the exit ramp for the Ikea store. The car smashed into a concrete structure supporting a streetlight by the side of the road, and all five passengers were killed.[/i]

Connecticut Avenue is not a limited access highway, and nobody is advocating for replacing breakaway light poles with non-breakaway light poles.[/quote]
