Each individual was outraged that we, as a city, do not treat this death toll of cyclists – and indeed pedestrians – as a citywide emergency.
Indeed, pedestrians attempting to cross a road here, even with children in tow, are invariably honked at while drivers speed towards them.
Put simply, as a matter of tradition accepted by the courts, if a police officer thinks that drivers (or indeed pedestrians) would put themselves at risk by using a snowbound road s/he has the power to tell them not to use it.
"We see this sort of attitude that when drivers hit cyclists or indeed pedestrians... that it's just somehow an accident, it's somehow carelessness," he says.
There was no expectation that anything on wheels or indeed any pedestrian could be a moving bomb.
Indeed, 55 000 pedestrian deaths in 2005 (81%) were associated with lower education or living in poorer neighbourhoods compared to non-pedestrian RTI deaths.
Indeed, policies on pedestrian-friendly urban structures should consider local contexts as well as the complex relationship between land-use accessibility and walking.
Indeed, declines in overall pedestrian injury rates predated the SRTS program, making it difficult to tease out or isolate the effects of this single program or intervention.
The demonstrated declines cannot be separated from underlying secular trends, and indeed declines in overall pedestrian injury rates predate the SRTS program.
Betsy Barlow Rogers's arguments against these boxes were all well founded ("Street Fighter," Aug. 12); they are indeed redundant, impediments to pedestrians, and horrible eyesores.
