The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 28, 2022
Despite a rise in traffic deaths and pedestrian fatalities nationally, Jersey City hasn't had a traffic death so far this year. Hoboken hasn't had one in four years. Angie Schmitt, writer, planning consultant, and author of Right of Way: Race, Class and the Silent Epidemic of Pedestrian Deaths in America (Island Press, 2020), explains what these cities are doing right and why the rest of the country lags so far behind. Plus, Jimmy Lee, board president at Safe Streets, tells us what he hopes Jersey City will continue to achieve.
