Resident asks for crash breakdown; engineer gives pedestrian and vehicle counts
Summary
During Q&A a resident identified as Marilyn asked whether the Broadway'University corridor had more vehicle-only or pedestrian crashes. City engineer Eli Velosin said of 18 serious/fatal crashes, 10 were vehicle-only and eight involved pedestrians or cyclists.
A participant identified by the moderator as Marilyn asked for a breakdown of the serious and fatal crashes on the Broadway-to-University section: whether the counts were mostly vehicle-only crashes or involved pedestrians. Eli Velosin responded with the corridor breakdown, saying, "So 10 vehicle only, 8 pedestrian or cyclists when I say pedestrian." She clarified that in her remarks she was using "pedestrian" to include cyclists in the count.
Marilyn then asked whether engineering would target vehicle behavior or pedestrian behavior; Velosin said staff conduct field reviews, sit-and-watch observations and crash/violation analysis at the start of each activation to tailor changes across modes. She emphasized that the measures target behaviors and violations observed across all road-user types rather than focusing only on one mode.
