Since the writer cares about traffic violence am sure she aware of the increase in traffic fatalities and pedestrians being struck by vehicles that have occurred in the pandemic. A similar increase has been documented in regards to crime incidents on the subway.

Does she care about data or “feelings”. When was the last time somebody argue “traffic fatalities were worse in the 80s” or “LA has a bigger traffic problem and that NYC is fine” to dismiss the increase in traffic fatalities that have occurred during the pandemic?

But a similar increase occurs in regards to shootings, transit incidents, recidivism, etc and you have a decent amount of people hell bent on dismissing that as “it was worse in the 80s” or “it’s actually more dangerous in Arkansas than NYC”.

And the author, a White millennial with a short commute is exactly the type of person I expect that is clamoring to fill this survey.

Almost never fails. Its always the White person that lives in a good neighborhood trying to tell everybody they are wrong.
