Most pedestrian deaths in MoCo are people running across huge streets in the middle of a block, often wearing dark clothes at night.  [/quote]

You're right. We need even lower speed limits.[/quote]

No. We need fewer dumbasses running across busy roads in the dark wearing dark clothing.

My local neighborhood wants lower speed limits so it is [b]safer to walk in the street[/b].[/quote]

This is a bad pandemic habit that needs to go.  People just stare at you as you try to drive down the street, like "How dare you drive on my spacious walking path?!"[/quote]

This was pre covid-19. We don't have sidewalks. Instead of giving up some right of way for sidewalks, the decision is reduce traffic speeds and add as many stop signs as possible.[/quote]

Seems like it would be a lot safer [b]to just take 7 feet of people's front yards and make a sidewalk[/b]. Then no one needs to walk in the street.

Yes, I don't understand this, in terms of equity.  I have to give an easement at the front of my property for this public good, why doesn't everyone?![/quote]
You don’t “give an easement.” Every street should have sidewalks, they are desirable and thus increase property values.[/quote]
