Why it matters

Between 2021 and 2025, the city recorded 4,071 crashes, of which 2,875 were severe, seriously injuring 141 people and causing 13 fatalities. The crashes have been spread across the city, prompting a broader plan to address them.

The figures come from city crash records for 2021 to 2025, showing 2,875 of 4,071 crashes were severe, with 13 fatalities. The plan's final roadway priorities remain unknown while data collection continues.
