“Efforts to better protect pedestrians and cyclists from speeding automobiles, where possible with physical barriers, will reduce accidental deaths in our city far more effectively than incarcerating every Troy McAlister who comes along.”

Overall improvements in pedestrian and cycling safety are absolutely critical to getting to zero traffic fatalities. Locking people up may be necessary in very narrow cases, but overall improvement of the built environment fixes the root problem.

I would say the issue in the cases of prolific criminals is that they need to be locked up, not that we need to put walls around every sidewalk. It's a separate issue anyway.

yup, certainly society would be better with certain folks away from the rest of it (see national news); again, dealing with the conditions that result in crime seems better than symptoms of it.

That's true. It seems like not holding prolific criminals accountable is fueling more crime and tragedies, but Chesa would rather build walls around sidewalks instead.
