I think the case against pedestrian collisions isn't really where the City should be trying to win favour in this. It should be considered in the overall scheme of things, but I think you'd get more buy in by framing this as fewer collisions means less congestion and traffic issues. For example, there was an accident just off one of the little entrances to our neighbourhood. Beccause of that, traffic trying to get into that neighbourhood turns into a traffic jam that bleeds out onto a main road like, Beddington Tr and then onto Stoney Tr., etc. If this was a collision at 30kph instead of 50kph, its entirely possible the cars could just drive off to exchange info, etc. somewhere that isn't effecting some major roads.
