I have been an advocate for active transportation and @wintercities for over two decades because they improve health outcomes. As our weather changes we need to demonstrate a viable plan to keep people, not just cars safe on their commute.

Yesterday and today constituted a crisis for our strained healthcare system. The number of orthopaedic cases in or emergency rooms was significant and I expect more today. Our ORs are already behind.
This weather isolates people with differing abilities and access to ice “gear”. It perpetuates vehicle dependence and sprawl. It’s not a zero sum game. I say this as I admit someone who slipped on the sidewalk after getting out of their car and suffered a head injury.
These events are forecasted, and will become more frequent. I know solutions exist, both literally and figuratively. We need them consistently implemented.
