abcnews has an article about one of the co-founder of bikecentennial (which later became adventure cycling). he's working to make it safer to be a pedestrian among cars. couple of gruesome statistics:
pedestrians account for only 5 percent of all trips in america, but 12 percent of all traffic deaths.
and later:
some of burden's solutions can cost $20,000 to $30,000 for one corner. but that's less, say their advocates, than $80,000 for a set of stop lights — and far less than the $247,000 it will cost if one person gets run over.Posted by drewish at December 19, 2002 07:16 PM
