In this episode, we explore a sobering and important topic in Greenville County: the tragic deaths of 38 people who were walking or bike riding in our community in 2021 and 2022. Joined by Frank Mansbach and Dr. John McBurney from Bike Walk Greenville, we explore a project that maps the lives lost on our roads and sidewalks. But more than a somber tribute, the conversation leads us into an in-depth examination of road design, engineering, lighting, and the pressing need for change. Together, we seek answers, compassion, and solutions, leveraging data and human stories to advocate for the safety of all users on our roads. Join us to understand how you can make a difference in our community.
