Pedestrian Safety Presentation At The NDC

On September 16th, 2021, The Neighborhood Development Committee welcomed guest speaker Nicole L. Morris who is leading a research study to improve pedestrian safety in the Twin Cities. They’re testing “how drivers react to pedestrians at crosswalks at selected sites” in the Twin Cities. One of those test sites is in Stevens Square-Loring Heights (on Franklin and Nicollet), learn more about these tests! They’re doing these tests because "there have been over 2598 pedestrian crashes in the last five years in the Twin Cities, 402 were children and 183 of these crashes involved children 10 and under." The video provides more information on the study and what it means for our neighborhood, presented by the researcher Nicole L. Morris.
