Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday to recognize World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, and for sharing your stories and perspectives! We were lucky to have Hannah Schmidt from CTV News come take some video and write an article about WDoR. #WDoR2023 https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/we-have-work-to-do-cyclists-push-for-safer-city-streets-1.6651980

The inaction of our leaders is killing us. There is no acceptable number of victims of road violence. We need safer roads, better design, and action now. We need our leaders to fight for zero fatalities and injuries on our streets.

I'm thinking about all of the people injured and killed in motor vehicle collisions in our city and the awful grief of their loved ones and the trauma of survivors of motor vehicle collisions.

I'm also thinking about all of the pedestrians and cyclists who have been seriously injured this year in Ottawa and who will have to live with life altering injuries and trauma.

Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims and I am thinking about the preventable deaths of the 7 pedestrians who have been killed in Ottawa in 2023 and of the grief of their loved ones whose lives will never be the same.

The Day Our World Crumbled: the Human Impact of Inaction on Road Safety

"RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POLITICIANS
[…]
We call on our politicians to put people at the heart of road and transport systems — in planning, design, and implementation — focusing on reducing speed as a first priority." (p. 40)

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. This is Donna, my sister as you all know, who lost her life #cycling to work on Sept 6th 2016. Remember her by taking care of yourself and others on the roads. #GiveTimeGiveSpace #RoadSafety
