LiveWire put together a map showing the reported locations of pedestrian collisions this year through November 15: https://livewirecalgary.com/2019/11/...an-collisions/

Not surprisingly, the major problem areas are those where there are a large number of pedestrians and a high traffic volume. Places like the 36th St C-Train corridor; Downtown; 16th Ave NW; and 17th Ave SW are all high collision areas.

It looks like the major arterial roads are the biggest problem, with the collectors seeing fewer collisions and the residential streets seeing almost none. Again, this shouldn't be surprising that roads with both higher traffic volumes and more pedestrians are going to have more collisions.

Also, this map only shows the collisions that were tweeted about. In theory, that could lead to underreporting of residential collisions since those will typically only get wide attention if they're particularly horrific.
