CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE
Worst Cities for Walking
02-04-10
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
The organization, Transportation for America released a new study on which
U.S. cities are most dangerous for pedestrians.
The report blames most pedestrian deaths on what they call “poorly designed
arterial roads”—they’re high-speed, multi-lane city streets lined with shopping
centers, drive-throughs lined with apartments, and office space, yet devoid of
pedestrian-friendly elements like crosswalks.
Apparently, if you’re going for a stroll in Florida, keep your wits about you
because Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and Jacksonville take the top four spots.
The highest ranking community from California was Riverside- San Bernardino at
18th followed by Sacramento-Roseville ranked at 22nd followed by San Jose-Sunnyvale
-Santa Clara at 26th followed by Los Angeles-Long Beach- Santa Ana at 27th and San
Diego –Carlsbad-San Marcos at 33rd.
I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
