Résumé
In the summer of 2011, the Office was approached by Mr. Albert Koehl and Mr. Patrick Brown, two lawyers who represent a coalition of pedestrian and cycling groups. The possibility of addressing public safety issues affecting pedestrians and cyclists via a special review was discussed. The timing of these discussions was opportune, and the leadership of the OCC was compelled by the importance of this issue. The result is this Pedestrian Death Review, as well as the OCC’s Cycling Death Review which was released in June, 2012.
