What is the cure for that? Perhaps the same as for roads - looking both ways.

When you are driving, look where you are going, don't speed, expect pedestrians in crosswalks and be ready to stop for them.

I have to dash across Columbia Road daily at JFK/UMASS. You'd think with how busy that station is, and all the students, that Boston would have this more under control. Personally, I think that on-ramp to 93 south needs to be moved. It would help regulate the flow of traffic onto the highway and increase safey for all.

Yeah, that one blogger is heavily focused on pedestrian rights, but a lot of cyclists got hurt/killed this year, too, especially when you consider the relative proportions.

True, but cyclists and pedestrians often (not always though) share dangers and made safer by the same fixes. Plus, more people walk than cycle regularly. A lot more - everyone who uses the T, nearly everyone who drives, everyone who cycles, also walks. So its politically a better strategy.

It's time for congestion pricing and start making residents pay market rate for parking permits. its the least car owners can do for how much they downgrade the quality of life in Boston.
