Nick,

Thanks for doing this....the information is much more meaningful now.

Might it be possible for the wiki to link directly to crash-stat data, ie. A
data-feed from crash stat that would report the stats on the intersections
discussed.  Note that all the intersections reported in the wiki have had
crash-stat incidents.

I would be nice if the reverse could work, too, ie. That crash-state events
could link to the wiki discussion.

Regards,

Subject: [Dangerous Intersections discussion] Wiki pages reorganized,
crashstat 2.0

Hi Everyone,

Nick Grossman here from the Open Planning Project (producers of NYCstreets,
Streetsblog and StreetFilms).  I did a little reorganizing of the wiki pages
for this project today -- take a look at the project homepage:
http://www.nycstreets.org/projects/dangerous-intersections.   You'll notice
that now each intersection has its own page, with a map of the area.  

It's easy to create new wiki pages, but it might not be super apparent how
to at the moment -- to do so, just click EDIT on the homepage, and add the
title of the new page you'd like to see.  Then, wrap the title in
double-parentheses, like this:  ((my new page)).  When you click "Save" on
the homepage, the link to your new page will show up in red.  Click on it,
and you can edit away.  We're working on making this process a little
clearer, but in the meantime, let me know if you have any questions.

Also, I wanted to point out a new website called CrashStat 2.0
(www.crashstat.org), created by Transportation Alternatives
(www.transalt.org).  CrashStat tracks the most dangerous intersections in
NYC and publishes tallies of pedestrian & cyclist injuries and deaths at
each one.  Very compelling stuff.  You can read more about CrashStat here:
http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/12/04/crashstat-20-reveals-nyc%E2%80%99s-mos
t-dangerous-intersections/

Ok, thanks for your work.  

Nick Grossman
