90-868 Public Policy project--A Study of Pedestrian-Vehicle Interactions in the City of Pittsburgh
"As many of you realize, the city of Pittsburgh is not a friendly place for pedestrians nor for bicycle riders. Over the past year there have been a number of accidents, most causing injuries but some causing deaths. Most of you know that a 19 year old female student, Wei Wei Wang, of Woodbury, N.Y., was struck by a car as she crossed Forbes Ave. at Margaret Morrison St. on the evening of April 11.
She died in UPMC hospital the next day. Over the past few years other students, staff and some faculty have also been hit by cars. And, of course, vehicles have hit a number of other pedestrians in the city, some were badly injured and others killed...."
