This happened yet again in our town because the people who design the infrastructure don’t give a flying fuck about anything other than the utmost convenience for people in cars and trucks. Every installation for people walking from one part of town to another is an after-thought. The number of times I’ve crossed there with my kid, on foot, inches from idiots hammering past - no protection from even a low speed incident. I saw this intersection earlier and saw pink lines and numbers had been sprayed on the roadway, doubtless indicating the long arc through which this poor guy flew. People don’t expect people to be walking near where they’re mindlessly charging along, glued to the phone or racing some other gargantuan compensatory super duty. Lighting is terrible - by Cherokee there is a pedestrian crossing which is all but invisible when it’s dark. At 530. Our city continues to sprawl in unwalkable enclaves, even if there is anything within walking distance you take your life in your hands unless you strap into your tank and burn a few pints of gasoline just to get a snickers and a Pepsi. It would be tempting, for rhetorical purposes to end this with ‘how many more people must die before we do something ?’ But that never works, with any lethal problem in this country, ever. People make money, other people die. Rinse and repeat.
