Jacksonville: One of America's Least Walkable Cities

[thelakelander]

A woman was just hit and killed while using the exact crosswalk this guy avoided, a little over a month ago. Because the crosswalk doesn't have a decent median refuge for nine 12'-wide vehicle lanes going through there, people get the assumption it's safer to cross in other areas.  In reality, the whole damn thing is a pedestrian death trap. Unfortunately, this is what happens when we decide make our design priorities focus on one mode at the expense of all others.

Please stop with the condescending 'know it all' stuff Stephen, because I made some valid points on the top post of the earlier page.

Its what he does best, sort of the straw that stirs the cocktail.....

Ya know? Along with the TRANSIT COALITION I believe we might want to add another committee or goal within the pedestrian group...

"CROSSWALK JACKSONVILLE!"

Would it not be cool to go from the third worst killing field in the USA to the top 10 in say, um, 10 years? Could be done.
