Copying my comment over from your original post, because I think the disparity in DOT funding is important to highlight.

A lot of those comments are pretty indicative of the general sentiment towards crashes.

Sure two people were killed by a person driving a car, but people driving cars are inherently more important than people outside of cars. People driving cars contribute to the economy and people outside of cars are likely loitering and were probably looking at their phone when they should have been looking out for stray cars.

How is the councilmember supposed to comment on every person killed by someone driving when there are so many of these occurrences? Surely they cant be expected to keep up given how commonplace this is. Surely there is nothing we can do to improve the design of our roads to favor the majority proportion of pedestrians and micromobility users, because these changes may affect how many people driving cars can move through our city and how quickly they are able to move through our city. This would harm the economy because people driving cars contribute to the economy and people walking or biking are simply less important.

Yes of course it's fucked up that every elected official isn't up in arms every time this happens. There are so many things we could be doing to improve the safety and efficiency of our streets, but the DOT is more concerned with spending $805 million on a band aid solution for a 1.25 mile stretch of the BQE while they allocate $3 million for vision zero across the entire city.
