OC urbanist memes and reposts. Skater. Homeless man trapped in a rich man's body. My pronouns are dude/mofo
Only if the car is definitively identified as the murder weapon. This comes out to around 100 deaths per year, so not statistically significant enough to worry about whether it's being double counted.

The funny thing about New Jersey is they have some of the safest drivers in North America, per mile. I think they're just assholes because the roads in that particular state (and Massachusetts) are designed in a way that you HAVE to be aggressive.

The difference between the US and Canada, allegedly, comes down to enforcement. This article has a really great chart showing the divergence over time with respect to per mile death rates. www.iihs.org/news/detail/...
Strong road safety policies have helped keep Canada on track, study shows
Canada’s strong road safety policies have helped the country cut fatalities while the U.S. has faltered, new research from IIHS and Canada’s Traffic Injury Research Foundation shows.

It's many things and it's deep. People love to use the expression "the American love affair with cars" not knowing the phrase was invented by the car industry itself. It's not just simple stuff like lack of transit, big cars, or road design, there's whole mindset to it which prevents improvement.

Elementary schools should have sidewalk mandates. Connected sidewalk networks and marked crosswalks must provide access to at least, let's say, 500 homes.

60 would be the most likely I think. But rerouting the 60 past the blue line at Racine would be worse than routing it past the Clinton blue line imo because of the lower frequency past UIC.

We need policies that make not driving a feasible choice for as many people as possible.

I contacted La Spata's office about it and apparently their office offered an upzone during the initial discussions with the developer but the developer declined. Weird stuff.

Ope, looks like I missed one

The funny thing is the Paris area only has like twice as many people yet it has 20x as many train stations. And even the Paris area doesn't have a ton of people, there are six 100km circles around the world with 60+ million people (Dhaka, Delhi, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Cairo).
