Show Notes
Alaska DOT plans to install a median barrier on Fifth Avenue in Anchorage, aiming to reduce pedestrian deaths. The project, costing $3-4 million, has faced criticism for prioritizing cars over people. Despite this, studies show such barriers can cut mid-block pedestrian fatalities by 86%. The public is invited to provide input at an open house on March 25th.
