His death reignites urgent calls for safer streets, spotlighting how decades of ignored infrastructure requests—like protected lanes on Halsted Street—have left cyclists vulnerable. With vehicle design, distraction, and lack of protected paths compounding the danger, advocates demand immediate action. Cities must prioritize all road users, treating traffic violence as a public health emergency and building communities where everyone can move safely—without fear.
