   Wow Ravi Bhalla is the Mayor of Hoboken (about 61,000 people live there) and there has not been a single pedestrian fatality in 6 years!!!

   This is the real vision zero plan. Not whatever our Mayor is promising but never delivering on.

     this man does what @SafeStreetRebel does, but officially:

     "So there could be something as simple as repaving a block in the city of Hoboken: When we repave that block, usually in the springtime, and do the routine things like road resurfacing, filling potholes, we kind of take a bird's eye view of that area and see what low-cost, high-impact measures we can implement in order to make that part of Hoboken a little bit safer. So just with a bucket of paint, you can actually create a curb extension; you can create high visibility crosswalks, which create a much safer environment at a very cheap cost. And then when you do the next iteration of repaving, you can really amplify and increase on those improvements that you've made. So this is change that is not happening within a day or a week. It's very incremental. But it's also very impactful.'

     @divya I went to high school with Ravi (he was a few years ahead of me), he was well-liked then and it is so great to see him doing amazing things!
