We’ll see what the details are, but it’s encouraging to see the multi-agency participation in this announcement. You could count on one hand the number of times Ray Kelly showed up at a public event about traffic safety.

Streetsblog’s Stephen Miller and Streetfilms’ Clarence Eckerson will be filing reports from the event, as will most of the City Hall press corps.
