Pedestrian fatalities increased by 35% between 2008-2017. We need streets that can accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit users, not just cars. My + @RepCohen’s Complete Streets Act will fund projects to make our roads/sidewalks safe and accessible for everyone.

we're all on the Titantic just cause you have a first class cabin doesn't mean you'll escape the sinking/extinction of all living beings. Keep that in mind - or perhaps you don't care?
