In Kirkland we still have vehicle pedestrian injuries in spite of the flags and some flashing pole mounted LED cross walks.

An engineering technique called root cause analysis show why and what we as a city can do to increase the safety of our streets.

This technique has been used to improve many other key transportation networks like rail, ships, freight, freeried and passenger airlines.

Lets call for a process improvement effort like this in our city.

It should be a crowd sourced video web site so we tap the best and brightest tech and transportation minds.

Kirkland is a city of thinkers with the skills to lead the country in safe and efficient transportation.
