2007 NYC Street Memorial Ride & Walk
On Sunday, January 6th, over two hundred people gathered to remember New Yorkers who were killed while biking and walking. The Street Memorial Project lead the 3rd Annual Memorial Ride & Pedestrian Memorial Walk to honor those killed. In 2007, 23 bicyclists and over 100 pedestrians died on NYC streets.
To Contrast that with Baltimore City with a population 1/13 of that of NYC we had 16 (NYC 8) pedestrians killed and one (NYC 2) cyclists killed.
(Numbers in parenthesis are what NYC would be for the same size population as Baltimore (fractions rounded up.))
Also note that bicycle and pedestrian traffic fatalities compose 39% of Baltimore's traffic fatalities.
