Jesus christ. Speed bumps are cheap and effective. So are bollards at crosswalks and bus stops etc. Not saying that would have stopped all of this but it would have helped a lot. Cars kill over 40,000 fucking people a year in this country and something like a 5th of those are pedestrians. And we do next to nothing about it. Unlike gun control, there are cheap and effective things we can do.

How would darell Clarke drive to the corner store and park in the crosswalk then?

Lol. There was just a pic today of a car crashing into a bollard in front of City Hall. Bollards save lives!

We won't install them in most places in this city because they could damage the out of control car being driven by someone who's not paying attention, drunk, and or high; and who's about to plow over a person on the street and murder them.

Priorities are very clear from this city, and it's not people.
