Councillor Nathaniel Schmidt is demanding urgent action, proposing to divert $6 million from the city’s surplus to install flashing beacons, redesign high-risk intersections, and improve crosswalk safety. A recent tragic death of a woman hit by a truck in a marked crosswalk underscores the urgency, especially as speed and impairment weren’t factors—pointing instead to systemic failures in education and infrastructure. Schmidt’s plan also includes using parking ticket revenue and deploying AI to predict and prevent accidents before they happen. This multi-pronged strategy aims to turn the tide on Calgary’s worsening road safety crisis. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
