Talk of Our Towns, June 19, 2019

Join host Donna Quinn as she talks about a pedestrian safety and awareness summer campaign that Sunset Empire Transit District/Northwest Transportation Options is conducting in downtown Astoria. Her guest is Matthew Weintraub with Sunset Empire Transit District/Northwest Transportation Options.   The bifurcated .5 mile of Hwy 30 through downtown is the most dangerous section of this road in the entire state when it comes to vehicle-pedestrian crashes. More than twice as many crashes (on a per vehicles traveled rate) occur in this section than the next most dangerous zone (in St. Helens).  Hear their conversation on Talk of Our Towns.
