Very sad to see the fatalities that tragically impacts the lives of all involved.

People really need to be defensive on the streets and paths here.

If impeding traffic, try to avoid road rage and get out of the way when safe to let them pass.

A contributing factor is the infrastructure here in many cases is less than bike and pedestrian friendly.

No bike lanes on roads that have no shoulder and tall vertical curbs.

MMP's with no sidewalks to separate pedestrians from 20+ mph traffic.

Some gate intersections even force pedestrians to walk in the street at MMP connections.
