The Right To Walk: Why Everyone Should Have Access to Sidewalks and Crosswalks
Orlando, FL Take a walk with me. I live in Orlando, one of the most walkable cities in the world—and also one of the most dangerous for pedestrians. In 2021, cars hit more than 150 people on a public road in this city. That's nearly one person every week. And those are just the accidents that happen on public roads. Think about sidewalks and pedestrian or bicyclist hit-and-run cases. I can't count how many times I've almost been hit on a sidewalk and had to jump out of the way.

Sacramento, CA Frontier Management LLC will pay $9.5 million to settle a California labor lawsuit brought by roughly 1,000 workers who were not paid for work required before they clocked in, after they clocked out and during meal breaks.
