> In Houston, bollards and raised pedestrian paths were removed recently (after being installed last year) because drivers kept hitting them.

So the city chooses not to pay the cost of protecting pedestrians, in favor of letting individual pedestrians bear the risk, and cost, of being injured themselves. If ever there were a better example of externalizing costs ….

I wonder if there is a wrongful death basis to sue a city into having safe streets. I know in the US disability groups have successfully sued cities due to a lack of curb ramps.
