I support the things the article mentioned, daylighting and leading pedestrian intervals. Timing lights so you stop on every block is not the solution. Driving in NYC is way more efficient and they have reduced fatalities significantly.

Do you have any actual data that it reduces fatalities? Most people get hit by turning cars and light timing does nothing to protect pedestrians in crosswalks.
