Exhaustive report: The poorer the neighborhood, higher the likelihood of pedestrian fatalities (thanks to freeways and high speed roads)

If they drove down those streets at reasonable speeds the fatalities wouldn't be a shockingly high number. Also freeways cause a lot of high speed wrecks which are intuitively higher risk in nature.

 

You're making an assumption that isn't based on anything that I see as near reality.

 

Basically, that is a huge if.

That makes no sense. Sidewalk funding shouldn't be coming from an agency that needs that money to increase transit.

 

It makes perfect sense.  The funding has already been set aside for road improvements until at least 2025.  Are you arguing that we should spend all road money on roads and not use any of it on sidewalks?
