Word On The Street

“Just google around and you'll find countless cases of people getting more jail time for abusing cats and dogs. Shoot a human? Slap on the the wrist.”

– Jeffrey J. Early In response to "Charles Diez Gets 120 Days for Shooting Cyclist in the Head"
Eyes on the Street

Sidewalk Wreckage in Chicago

An errant motorist jumped the curb and crashed first into the tree, then the bike rack, and finally the bike parked here. The LaSalle Blue Line station entrance is just steps away (in the background). Imagine the fate of a bicyclist who might have been locking their ride to the bike rack only to find a 2-ton metal box hurtling in their direction.

Students Paint the Pavement in Brooklyn

Not only did these students beautify their school's street, they also identified it to motorists as a thoroughfare frequented by school-age pedestrians in a way that mere signage and conventional markings do not. There are hundreds of school zones across the city that could benefit from the same treatment.
