And we're on a ISLAND for God's sake!! Where the heck is everyone in such a freaking hurry to go?? I have a neighbor who has already had a dog killed (on a LEASH, IN town) by a taxi. There will be more animals killed, and most certainly a pedestrian, bicyclist, etc. will as well. (We watched a bicyclist come within inches of being seriously injured or killed last week when they were caught between the cement truck and a golf cart, neither of whom saw him. We have the nice, huge, black skid marks on the fresh new concrete speedway as a reminder.) Then there will tons of moaning and groaning, but for that person and their family, it will be far to little too late. And then, there will be all kinds of complaints, and marches, and meetings, and then it will slowly blow over. In my line of business, it's what we call reactive vs. proactive, and not getting to the best solution because you're not willing to put the time and money into avoiding the accident/fatality from occurring in the first place.
