Following a year that saw42 pedestrian deathsin Toronto, 2020 is already shaping up to be just as dangerous on the city's streets.

Two residents were killed over the year's first weekend while crossing roads — one, a 65-year-old man in the downtown core, and one a 16-year-old girl in Brampton. Both drivers fled the scene.

Brampton is the worst city in Canada for road safety. careless and reckless drivers there. Insurance premiums are 5 to 6 times normal. Thoughts and Prayers for this young soul.

The city has made road safety for pedestrians and cyclists a priority in recent months, with efforts ranging fromreducing speed limitsto the much-criticizeddistribution of reflective arm bands among seniors.

But still, we are nowhere nearMayor John Tory's Vision Zerogoal of no preventable road fatalities.

Many wonder if Toronto wasinherently designed for cars, with little attention paid to pedestrian safety.

Others are noting a lack of proper enforcement by police, whether it be that motorists arenot being properly penalized for unsafe drivingor that there are simplynot enough officers dedicated to traffic enforcementin the city's bounds.

The seeming sense of apathyabout the issuedoesn't help, either.
