As reported by WKBW Buffalo in their article, “Lawmakers Push for Safer Streets Laws After an Increase in Pedestrian, Bicyclist Crashes in Western New York,” local officials are advocating for stronger traffic laws following a rise in pedestrian and bicyclist accidents. One tragic example is 13-year-old Wyatt Lopez, who suffered severe injuries after being hit by a drunk driver in Buffalo.

Wyatt’s mother, Regina Bowden, has called for lower speed limits, better signage, and increased driver awareness to prevent similar accidents. She joins State Senator Sean Ryan, Assemblyman Jon Rivera, and GoBike’s Executive Director Justin Booth in pushing for legislation that prioritizes street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
