MoBikeFed comment: Columbia has suffered a rash of pedestrian injuries and fatalities recently and it is good to see the city so committed to taking positive and proactive measures to address the problem.After months of planning, the Mayor's Task Force on Pedestrian Safety has recommended more than a dozen ways to address traffic and pedestrian safety.
Many fatal or serious accidents involved pedestrians at intersections in Columbia.
According to Ian Thomas, 4th ward councilman and the task force co-chair, the task force's first recommendation is the "Vision Zero" policy.
Vision Zero is the international best practice for improving roadway safety for all users and Columbia is set to become the first Missouri city to fully embrace this innovative and effective program to dramatically reduce--and even eliminate--all traffic deaths.
