My citizen petition asks for hi-vis crosswalks citywide. But @cityofphoenixaz.bsky.social claims they don't have the budget. They actually do - T2050 funding - an annual multi million $$ budget dedicated to transportation & pedestrian safety.

NASA does a disservice here by excluding the acres and acres of non-road pavement that truly exacerbate this problem — surface parking lots. Zoom into the hottest parts of this map and you’ll see plenty of parking.
We’re probably not gonna get rid of roads, but we can stop mandating parking lots.
