Here is Scarborough, an eastern suburb (with the suburban neighbourhoods you'd expect) in the City of Toronto.

> Incidents in Scarborough have accounted for more than 46 per cent (or 19 of 41) of pedestrian deaths this year, despite the eastern borough containing just 23 per cent of the city’s population and about 26 per cent of its road kilometrage.

This is certainly damning.

However, it seems like all the incidents are happening on the interconnection suburban roads, not the inner neighborhood roads.

Faint praise to be sure; walking and biking as a mode of transportation should be safe and encouraged.
