It starts with functional and accessible sidewalks. Stop allowing utilities to block the public right of way with utility poles and boxes. Enforce already in place laws and regulations. Including parking laws that prevent parking too close to intersections and crosswalks.

Then create safer streets by allowing high level traffic roads to travel at reasonably quick speeds with coordinated stop lights and curb bulbs for pedestrian crosswalks. Use proven methods to slow traffic on other streets and make more pedestrian/bicycle friendly travel ways. Increase public transportation and reduce outside parking in dense neighborhoods.

Have appropriate lighting at crosswalks and enforce traffic laws.

Other cities have done this and been successful.
