Thanks, Amy! We just put it up yesterday.

And actually, if you zoom in on the map, you'll even get dots on one-crash intersections (we didn't load those markers on the default view because it slows down the page load).

Haunting to see that someone died two blocks from my house, at an intersection where I ride my bike all the time.

S.W. Jefferson St. and S.W. 16th Ave., Oct. 13, 2006, 10 p.m. The bicyclist, a 21-year-old man, was headed northwest. A passenger vehicle, driven by a 35-year-old woman, was headed southwest. The cyclist suffered minor injuries in the collision. Authorities said the cyclist was "illegally in roadway" in listing the primary cause of the crash. The cyclist was crossing at an intersection that had no traffic signal.

Is that illegal?

Ok, I realize I'm just second-guessing things here, but I'm trying to figure out why a driver with alcohol in their system and who is independently found to be in the wrong, would have their criminally negligent homicide case dismissed by a judge? Was the case mishandled?

i bet this is 10% of actual bike crashes. I witnessed a pretty bad crash that went unreported and a good friend of my limped for about a month after getting nailed by a car. pretty sure that didn't get reported.

but still, nice job boregorian!

Boy, Hawthorne Blvd is like an alley of pain between Grand and 12th. Makes sense, considering the bridge that feeds into it (Hawthorne's the most bike-friendly), but for some reason I didn't expect that much.

And I expected the dot at 82nd and Powell to be bigger than the one at 82nd and Foster–but when I think about how hazardous 82nd and Foster is to be (fast cars, monster traffic, tight corners to turn though), it makes sense too.

There are definitely missing dots. I had a friend hit at 15th and Skidmore in February. And it's possible the bike predated 2003, but there used to be a ghost bike at the Sandy & 84 ramp.

there's also a ghost bike (or what remains of one) at 9th and NE Killingsworth.

Yup! I'm missing my dot of glory, too.

29th @ Alberta!

Okay, I'm down with the map and everything but wouldn't it have been much more effective to color-code the little dots instead of making them imperceptibly different sizes of the same color? I dunno, I guess I'm being nit-picky. What I have taken from this though is to avoid riding my bike on MLK.
