San Mateo County road safety under renewed criticism following death of 4-year-old

omg this is so sad πŸ˜”πŸš— Ayden's story is just heartbreaking... I mean can't we do better for our kids? πŸ€• my aunt's friend lost her kid in a similar accident and it was like... she's still grieving to this day 😭. I think we need to have more protected bike lanes and pedestrian zones, like Redwood City Councilmember Isabella Chu said πŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸ‘ also, cities should make sure that drivers are always on the lookout for pedestrians and cyclists, it's not just about convenience πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ. something needs to be done ASAP πŸ‘Š
 
I'm like super concerned about this πŸ€”. It's crazy that we're still having this conversation after all these years. I mean, car crashes are a leading cause of child death, what's the hold up? We need to step it up and make some real changes πŸš€. I think Isabella Chu is on the right track with her proposal for redesigning roads and prioritizing pedestrian safety. But we gotta ask ourselves, is this really just about safety or is it about convenience? Shouldn't our cities be designed with people, not cars, in mind? It's like, what happened to us being a country that values its children? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ We can do better, and we have to start making some noise about it πŸ’ͺ.
 
πŸš—πŸ’” I'm telling you, it's all about control... They want us to think that it's just an accident, but what if there's more to it? πŸ€” Have you seen how many kids have died in those "accidents"? It's like they're trying to tell us something. And then you got these politicians coming out with their fancy plans for "safer roads", but are they really looking out for our best interest or just lining the pockets of some big corporation? πŸ€‘ I mean, think about it, what if they create more protected bike lanes and suddenly all the car companies are like "oh noes, we're going to lose sales" πŸ˜‚. It's all a game, folks...
 
I'm getting so frustrated with all these accidents happening to little ones like Ayden. I mean, what's the point of having bike lanes if they're not well-maintained and people are just gonna speed past? πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸš— My grandkids would be traumatized if something like this happened to them. We need more protection for pedestrians and cyclists, it's not that hard! πŸ’• Redwood City Councilmember Isabella Chu is on the right track with her plans, let's hope other cities follow suit and prioritize our kids' safety above all else πŸ™.
 
🀝 I mean, it's super sad that a little guy like Ayden had to meet such an untimely end. But you know what? His family's story is actually giving us all a chance to think about how we can make things better for everyone on our roads πŸš—πŸ’¨. And let's be real, having more protected bike lanes and safer street design isn't just about kids – it's about making life easier for people of all ages who might need to walk or ride a bike. Plus, with cities like Redwood City taking the lead, there's hope that we can learn from their examples and make our own areas better 🌞. Maybe it's time for us all to start thinking about road safety in a whole new way...
 
πŸš—πŸ˜• I think it's utterly disconcerting that we still have cities on the Peninsula prioritizing driver convenience over pedestrian well-being. The fact that there are only two protected bike lanes in the entire county is a stark reminder that our approach to road safety is woefully inadequate. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ With incidents like Ayden's tragic death, it's imperative that we revisit our infrastructure and prioritize safer street design. πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ I'd love to see more aggressive steps taken by local governments to redesign roads with pedestrians and cyclists in mind. It's a matter of public health, really – car crashes are the leading cause of child death for almost a century! πŸ’” We can do better; we must do better.
