LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: This D.C. Council decision makes city streets unsafe By Editor On Jul 15, 2022 Last updated Jul 15, 2022 47 Share Six months into 2022, there have been 1,528 traffic crashes involving injuries in D.C. Nineteen people have been killed. The deaths follow a year in which the city saw the most traffic fatalities since 2007, including the death of a 4-year-old boy crossing a street and a 5-year-old girl riding her bike. City officials say improving safety for the motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians who use D.C. streets is a top priority, and they have set a goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2024. Now, that goal is going to be much harder to reach, thanks to the D.C. Council’s rash decision to let drivers with unpaid traffic tickets remain on the road. 47 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
