so these are crashes over 7 years? only 1 fatality. the worst intersection only had 13 crashes over 7 years. this seams really really low. unless i'm not reading this right we have some really safe driving infrastructure. I'd love to see it compared to other cities or see what they define as an injury.

These are crashes involving pedestrians.

Also fatalities really shouldnt be our only measuring stick here…

then what should be? 13 accidents over 7 years is concerning but not alarming. we can definitely improve our cities walkability, but people are dumb. we will never eliminate accidents. someone will always be distracted and either walk into traffic with out looking or drive up on a sidewalk.
