Ontario's Risky Roadways & The Road to Vision Zero
An 11-year-old boy crossing the street after leaving school has become the latest person to be added to a long list of pedestrian fatalities in Ontario. Lawyer Patrick Brown, Toronto Police superintendent Scott Baptist, and Share the Road Cycling Coalition's Jamie Stuckless, join The Agenda to discuss how to keep the province's roads safe for all. As pedestrian deaths rise in Toronto, many are wondering what happened to the city's Vision Zero strategy, implemented last year. This month, Mississauga voted for the strategy, and Hamilton and Kingston city councils are investigating whether it could work for them. Pamela Fuselli of Parachute, an organization dedicated to preventing injury, and Leah Shahum of the Vision Zero Network, join Steve Paikin to discuss how some cities have had success with the plan, and what Ontario can learn from them. There is little doubt that cars have played a major role in shaping North American cities. But a century ago, it was pedestrians that ruled the roads. According to Peter Norton, author of "Fighting Traffic: the Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City," they weren't quite as accepting of the dawn of the automobile age as some might believe. He joins Steve Paikin to discuss his research.
