From CBS New York:The New York Times reported that researchers studied more than 1,400 pedestrians and cyclists treated at Bellevue Hospital Center after collisions between December 2008 and June 2011.
Forty percent of cyclists injured by cars in the study were hit by taxis. Among injured pedestrians, 25 percent were hit by taxis.
City officials said the report shows the need for bike lanes and pedestrian plazas.
One website recently compiled the 10 worst intersections in Manhattan. How do you put a pedestrian plaza in the middle of 125th Street or 8th Avenue?
If cabs make up a large chunk of the vehicles involved in accidents, then shouldn't reckless cabs be what's addressed?
