So far in 2022, there have been 207 pedestrians struck by cars in the Greater Cincinnati area.
Cincinnati's largest public school district and the city are announcing increased pay to address the shortage of crossing guards.
Over 100 people have been involved in pedestrian crashes this year.
Parking on many city streets is prohibited from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. so the extra lane can be used to reduce rush hour traffic congestion. Four council members say eliminating that restriction is a low-cost way to improve pedestrian safety because parked cars are a barrier between traffic and pedestrians.
