  1. Does cyclists refer to motorcyclists or bicyclists—or perhaps both? The reference to pedestrians makes me wonder if the article is talking about bicycle fatalities as well. A clarification would be helpful.

  2. This and any other articles I could find about this topic, set world records for the most amount of words written without saying anything. Apparently it is somehow “equitable” and the Gannett idiots support it, which tells me everything I need to know

    1. Chuck you’ve managed to write a complaint about the article not “saying anything” without adding anything yourself. Bravo! We’ve reached new heights of partisan bad-faith whining.

    2. *Yawn*

      More right-wing snowflake whining instead of intellectual curiosity. Typical.

    3. Michael, did those 2 sentences make sense in your head before you typed them? AR, the guy that has time to post on every single article, claiming to be bored is hilarious. Typical IBJ readers

    4. If you’re referring to the IBJ as “Gannett idiots,” Gannett owns the Star, not the IBJ.

  3. Great just what we need another high-paid administration person. Why don’t they try to cut down on the number of murders throughout the city.

    1. The literal point of this is to cut down the number of deaths inflicted on pedestrians by car drivers. Try harder next time.

    2. Self awareness of your surroundings is the only real solution, not entitlements for everyone else to look out for us, Michael!

    3. Kevin would rather be able to drive 55 in a 35 than ensure small children don’t get crushed by a Yukon while they wait to cross the street. I guess I need to reconsider my entitlement though

    4. It’s genuinely hilarious to be condescendingly told how to drive by someone who doesn’t know what “self-aware” means.

    5. Michael a lot of these pedestrian deaths could be cut down if people actually use the crosswalks and follow the signals to cross when it tells them to instead of dashing across the middle of the street or ignoring the crosswalk signs. I can tell you’re one of those types who it’s always someone else’s fault instead of assuming responsibility for your own actions.

  4. Yet another push to befoul our city’s traffic grid with anything that makes it more difficult for vehicular transportation, which is the lifeblood of a modern city. A lot of urban planners these days hate the city and want to make it like the golf cart communities that they grew up in. And pretty much 0% of them ever have worked out of a truck pulling a trailer.

    1. Trucks pulling trailers…are not supposed to be on many city streets. Ever.

  5. What about cyclists going WAY TOO FAST and hitting pedestrians on trails like the MONON. I’ve seen it happen a lot. Cyclists can be and are very often completely obnoxious. Pedestrians have the right of way. Try telling that to entitled cyclists.

  6. I drive through downtown Monday through Friday and I can say that cyclists do not obey traffic signals or stop signs. They pause and go right through like those things do not apply to them. I have scene some pretty close misses due to their non compliance.
    Also, I do think that the no turn on red will help to decrease incincents. However, pedestrians do run across busy streets and pay no attention to cross walk indicators. It is going to take everyone obeying signals and laws to stop the accidents that are happening. Motorists are not the only reason that people are being hurt.
