Addtional Story:

“The World Health Organization said yesterday that the mayor was giving $9 million to global traffic safety programs.

That gift will go to design and put in place demonstration projects in Mexico and Vietnam to help decrease death, injury and disabilities resulting from crashes, which kill nearly 1.2 million people and injure as many as 50 million more each year, and which are the leading cause of death for 10- to 24-year-olds around the world, according to the group. The problem is particularly acute in low- and middle-income countries and is an area of public health that has not received sufficient funding in the past, the group said.”

One horse dies and the incident and calls for reform are granted considerable coverage in many outlets.

A pedestrian dies and what happens?

bus lane cameras ON buses: probably psychologically more appealing to the public and policy makers than cameras just hanging around on street fixtures. CP planners and advocates-take note?

Many thanks to Brad and the other S’blog staff responsible for getting us “Today’s Headlines” before 9:00 each day. It’s great to be able to to read before work. Don’t think we don’t notice!

Park(ing) Day–glad to see the list of approximate locations. We won’t be putting up a site but we do hope to ride around to visit the sites of others and spend some time at each, which should be just as fun!
