[SDCBC] Fwd: Mapping Carfree Casualties

[Colin Leath]

---------- Forwarded message ----------

I've put together a demo site <http://carfreecasualties.blogspot.com/> about
how we might be able to easily keep a map/ construct a memorial of people
hit by motor vehicles.

I doubt the way I've set things up there is the best way to do it. But I
think this is something that needs to happen. Imagine if all the worldwide
fatalities and injuries were mapped and labelled and just kept piling
up--and if you could zoom in on any area and find the stories about the
people killed or injured there.

The casualty reported on the biketour
list<http://carfreecasualties.blogspot.com/2008/02/fwd-biketour-cyclist-traveller-died-in.html>--
in addition to happening to walk by two hit pedestrians laying in the
street in two days -- a year of reading about pedestrian deaths in the local
paper and doing nothing about them -- and the violence we all live in being
near car drivers -- and being hit myself -- pushed me to do this.

Please help me figure out something more workable than the current approach.

Peace,
Colin

am I caring for our body?
am I caring for our mind?
am I caring for our connection?
am I aware of our ground?
