No one should experience these frequent close calls. We need redesigned streets. But we also need traffic enforcement: https://t.co/TnoAi9YizW

In the 75 days since the speed camera at 10540 S Western Ave was installed in late May, it's issued a mind-boggling 59,152 tickets. That's over 46 an hour! The peak was on 6/9, when it caught 1352 speeders. Or 1.3 a minute.

But what do you expect when the road looks like this?

[Alex Gillette @CallMeGillette]

Absolutely tragic, rest in peace to Johnny and Matthew. Killed on bicycles in New Jersey.

My road bike has sat in storage collecting dust for the last three years because of the awful people on the road, like the one that took these two lives. Do better.

Pedestrian areas and complete streets are important to any municipality. Our admin built the Newark Ave pedestrian plaza which has been a huge success. The Homestead is going to be our second large pedestrian plaza (similar to Newark Ave) - located near Journal Square. It will also span several blocks as part of the development approvals.

New Jersey is the country’s most densely populated state and among our nation’s most traveled. Continued efforts to evaluate traffic safety and transportation system designs with the goal of reducing crashes must be a top priority for our state.
