Don’t we have - through all the various agencies - more police officers per capita than any city in the world, yet you want to start with false prioritizations?  How about we get every dimes worth across all dimes spent and fix everything.  I would rather shoot for perfection and “fail” at excellence than start off with excuses and end up with terrible.

Focusing on THE FACTORS THAT ACTUALLY KILL PEOPLE is a "false prioritization"?

[b]If you focus on ALL the things that could kill people you would be in a much better place. [/b] You seem to want to let certain things slide but I do not want to wait for another death or serious injury to react.  In fact, it would probably be best to have the police focus on ALL moving vehicle violations to achieve the optimal across the board outcome.  If they are looking for cars, they can also be looking at other vehicles.  Watching one reckless and dangerous thing and excusing it while pursuing some other, makes no sense. ALL threats. ALL the time. [/quote]

Let's start with the biggest problems.[/quote]

This is a false prioritization.  [b]Let’s make sure everyone is safe.[/b]  We have the means.  [/quote]

Yes. First we'll start with slow streets, raised crosswalks, wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes, curb bump-outs, bus-only lanes, red light cameras, speed cameras, etc. all over the city. We even could give the program a catchy name, like maybe because we have a vision of a DC where everyone is safe and there are zero traffic deaths, we could call it Vision Zero. When we've done all that, we'll assess to find out what still remains to be done.[/quote]
