Arlington Needs A Comprehensive Predestian, Bicycle, Motorcycle, Auto Safety Plan

Hello Yupette,

I am sick and tired of seeing people on bicycles dressed from head to toe in black running stop signs and traffic lights, Same goes for pedestrians jaywalking. Also people on motorcycles going 30 mph over the speed limit and drivers texting while driving. We badly need a comprehensive safety education and accident prevention plan for people who use and cross Arlington's streets and roads.

How about skateboarders dressed in black riding their skateboards down the middle of a street at midnight?

Other communities have comprehensive safety programs coordinated by the police department and school system and there is a big drop in accidents.

Why do we have to wait for a tragedy to happen? Let's get the County to get a comprehensive safety program going - ASAP.

Zimmerman and Fisette want everyone to ride a bicycle, no matter how young or old, no matter what the weather, no matter what the terrain, no matter how much traffic.

What was the CIP agenda item last Saturday all about? Taking millions from basic infrastructure and using the funds for an aquatics center.

With all the drivel the County's public relations bureaucracy produces you would think they could produce a good traffic safety video.

FYI said...

We are paying maybe $2 million a year for 14 PR people to produce propaganda and drivel in the county manager's office.

This wee Arlington's PR bureaucracy is producing lots of video features about gourmet and ethnic food.

There must be 25 people employed in PR in various places in County Government. They make videos about everything but bicycle and pedestrian safety. Seen anything is the "Sun Fisette" except more drivel?
