The Montbello Organizing Committee has been shouting for safety improvements in their community for years. This corridor was identified as the #1 priority corridor of the Montbello Loop to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and this preventable crash emphasizes this need.

Don't look away from the engineering of this road, from the policy decisions & systemic conditions that have resulted, predictably, in homelessness, sidewalklessness, & death. Our Land Use+Transportation policies are intimately linked. We can start changing thesešŸ’”outcomes TODAY.

If safety comes first, prioritize building a connected and protected bike network. A helmet won’t do a dang thing to save my life if I’m hit by a driver because I don’t have a safe, protected place to ride.
