Demand Safer Streets

Jefferson Street, four travel lanes, on street parking, no traffic, no rain, 9am. The traffic signal is red (not visible until it turns green). The walk sign is orange (do not walk).  Not a car or truck in sight. The light turns green and the cyclist shows up, on his way to work.

Eleven months earlier the same cyclist had his left arm (shoulder, humerus, elbow, radius, ulna and hand) crushed by a large motor vehicle. Louisville, we can do better than this. Our streets can be made safer.
