Make city residential streets safer.

Enforcement matters too. I had a *destroyed* abandon car with no plates left in front of myhouse for over a year and I called it in a few times. At my gym, the gym employees all park in the ADA spots out front with no tags and the people who might need them, can't. People are not stopping at stop signs and speeding up and down the residential streets. My spouse was hit by a car in the Central West End because the driver they couldn't be troubled to stop at a stop sign - on Euclid of all streets. As a runner, I have been almost hit on several occasions. Back before Rudy Guiliani went crazy, as the mayor of NYC, he spent time focusing on minor offenses in neighborhoods thinking that addressing them would make people think they wouldn't get away with more serious things. Valid or not, NYC felt a lot safer. When I lived there, people getting hit by cars was barely a thing because people stopped at stop signs. Here, I am not sure if the police are even coming if I get hit. Where are they? Police need to start ticketing and start enforcing. Sit on the residential streets and get the speeders or those who don't stop. It might help keep the problems out of the neighborhoods. But even starting with the minor stuff will help prevent the bigger stuff.

I agree with everyone concerning pedestrian safety. One simple way to start would be to paint the crosswalks. Most have wore off in my area.
