public life study for pedestrian safety

The Design Center partnered with Walk Bike Nashville to conduct a pedestrian life study on Dickerson Pk, one of the most dangerous streets for pedestrians in the city. Vision Zero aims to reduce all pedestrian deaths and this is a main area to look into. When conducting the public life study, the four zones of the pike were analyzed for pedestrian and cyclist counts and mapped their activities across demographics. We also talked with anyone in the area to hear their thoughts about the intersections. Read more here on the blog. The image below shows the relative area of pedestrians at four different times at the four zones. The images to the right are my proposed ideal design interventions to ensure safety for all pedestrians and cyclists and slow down vehicular traffic.
