We need to readdress the planning and design landscape as a whole. Its very resistant to change because these have been the standards for years and planners arent brave enough to try something new, or they don't get approval when they do want to challange the status quo. We have to start trying new solutions because the current standards arent only unsafe, they are unsustainable from both an economic and environmental point.

We don't even need to do new; lots of the world has proven and new trials on safe streets ongoing.
