i live in Los Angeles and i'm appalled at the pedestrian amenities presently available in the city. there are pedestrian crosswalks without either in-street warning lights or stop lights to back them up. coupled with insufficiently lit streets all throughout the city (or streets that are being re-vamped - which means the street lights are out anyway), the all pedestrians are pretty much just walking into death traps. i guess pedestrians means everybody cause at one time or another, everyone is a pedestrian.

what's so sad is that pedestrian amenities, just like bike amenities, can be the least labor and fiscally intensive projects to implement -- but always gets shafted up the ass when it comes to prioritization.

dude... WHAT the F^&^.
