There's a great book about this issue, it's called Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. Highly recommend, but be ready for the rage. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

I blame me too. You're welcome! Yesterday was winter cycling payday. The day we pass all drivers stuck in traffic and feel rewarded for choosing the bike - even in winter.

This is the 16th fatality in pedestrian/driver collisions this year. Does anyone at City Hall care or are we too busy locking up garbage cans?

The city of Winnipeg doesn't have the money (read political will) to make our streets safer. Maybe they have money for lawsuits. Stop killing our pedestrians.
