Mr. Maus: Should Bike Portland add a traffic death counter to its homepage?

Jonathan,
Have you considered adding a Portland traffic death counter to your homepage? I think this might be impactful. Maybe this would raise awareness as Vision Zero seems to have faded from the Portland consciousness.

Thoughts?

Sort of like a population counter raises awareness over the impacts of population growth:World Population Clock: 8.1 Billion People (LIVE, 2023) - Worldometer

Jonathan, how about it?

It’s been there for a long time, but not updated this year.

Is vagrant freeway trespasser also considered “using” the road, or considered trespassing?

I love the uptick of “pedestrians” on freeways.

Might as well stop directing comments at Jonathan. I think he’s more or less abandoned the forums.
