NEW YORK—Alison Collard de Beaufort, a freshman at Brooklyn Technical High School, wants to create a network of student advocates for safe streets in schools across the city.
New York City’s traffic safety plan is ambitious—it calls for 50 major street redesigns a year, investigation of all crashes, and education at every level are among its main starting points to lower traffic deaths to zero within a decade.
Last year, Mayor Bill de Blasio kicked off the Vision Zero initiative, and though there are still points not addressed, pedestrian fatalities have already reached a record low.
I just don't want to have to go through another loss in this way.
