Someone gets killed on a bicycle a year ago in an intersection known to be dangerous, 10 yr old study, and they study it again and city admin recommend no change "at this time". The person killed had her kids with her (survived). I'm going to city council to talk about it on behalf of Saskatoon Cycles tomorrow, and I don't know if I should cry or shout or ??? in the 5 mins allocated. What's the life of one person in the life of a city? #cycling#activeTransportation
@jamesbicycle Odds are the city employed a professional engineer who signed off on the original design. that person is legally liable and can be arrested for a bad design. Doesn't matter what the city says, the PE who signed off on the design is supposed to know and refuse to allow the city go ahead.
You just need to find that person and get them to court. It will only take a couple examples and cities will have no choice but do better as no engineer will design something that fits their budget in the first place.
