Anchorage has a serious problem with car-pedestrian collisions – so much so that by the time you read this, the statistics may well be worse than when it was written. As September nears its end, 13 people have died on Anchorage roads this year after being hit by cars, a grim toll that matches the previous record (13, set in 2022) for an entire year – and we’ve still got three months left to go. Six have died this month alone. That toll should be unacceptable to all Anchorage residents, whether you drive, walk, ride a bike or some combination of the three.
