Hoboken, New Jersey, recently marked seven consecutive years without a traffic death. Officials there credit their decision to take away some street parking, a change that increases visibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

You've accidentally hit the nail on the head.

Public transport needs to be invested in to make it a viable alternative.

The regulations for parking lots and garages need to be added.

Saying it's bad now so we should change nothing is not the attitude.
