This letter from State Representative Jason Morgan is profoundly disappointing. Ann Arbor has committed again and again to Vision Zero, and our staff work hard to design safe infrastructure. This attempt to undermine that effort is embarrassing. #A2Council a2gov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=...

I hope that Representative Morgan’s constituents will urge him to put the safety of all road users above the speed and convenience of cars, as city policy states we must do. Someone who is so heavily involved in decisions regarding our transportation system should know better.

And I hope that @jasonmorganmi.bsky.social can better educate himself on the Safe System approach and Vision Zero principles before chiming in on transportation safety projects in the future.

During the walk through we watched a group of kids crossing division at the flashers. A few cars passed until one stopped, but as they crossed another nearly hit them because of the double threat situation this corridor creates for pedestrians with its two lanes in one direction and high speeds.

At the earlier walk through a colleague watched a couple cars jump the curb making the right turn from Carey onto Broadway, the location where Morgan cites lack of deadly crashes as a reason to keep an unsafe turn. How much blood must we spill to justify safety? It’s a fundamental misunderstanding.
