Opinion: It’s in our power to keep pedestrians and cyclists safe

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • December 13, 2022

The number of pedestrian fatalities reached a high in 2021. In 2022, 20 pedestrians and two bicyclists have been killed on Maine roads. Of course everyone walking or biking must follow the rules, but a larger portion of responsibility must be on those encased in a 3,000-pound steel container designed to keep the people inside – not outside – safe. ~ Jean Sideris, Bicycle Coalition of Maine
