Recently the Washtenaw Biking and Walking Coalition organized a discussion on pedstrian issues in Ann Arbor.

• The Flint area is the most dangerous area for pedestrians in the state and is way more dangerous than the national average.  The Ann Arbor area is the safest and is way less dangerous than the national average.
