The areas near schools are <br />where more youth who are walking or riding a bike are being <br />injured or killed. <br />El Camino Real is also a corridor where more pedestrians and <br />bicyclists are involved in collisions, and needs to be safer so that <br />more people feel safe walking, biking, and using transit. <br />39% <br />of all pedestrian and <br />bike collisions occur <br />within a quarter mile of <br />a school. <br />1 in 3 <br />of pedestrian and bicycle deaths <br />are among our Black population, <br />although they are only 3% of San <br />Mateo County’s population. <br />6.3.A. - Page 10
