46 <br />Chart 3-4: Degree of Injury for Pedestrian Collisions <br />of combined collisions. Similar levels of collisions occur on Fairview <br />Street, Flower Street, North Broadway, and Bristol Street (all north to <br />south). Some corridors are much shorter lengths within city boundaries <br />but still demonstrate hotspots, such as along Euclid Street, Newhope <br />Street, Harbor Boulevard, and Tustin Avenue (all north to south). <br />Ten-Year Heatmap <br />Figure 3-6 looks at ten years of collision points which appear to follow <br />a similar pattern as the five years of collision points shown in Figure <br />3-5. Both heatmaps show the same hotspot areas, though have higher <br />numbers of collisions, as is expected with a longer, but more or less <br />remain to the same footprint. <br />3.3 Pedestrian Collisions <br />Based on collisions from the past five years of available data, Chart 3-4 <br />shows the degree of injury for pedestrian collisions. The highest de- <br />gree of injury is a complaint of pain at 39% of all pedestrian collisions, <br />followed by visible injury at 31%. Severe injuries are the next highest <br />at 13% followed by property damage only at 12%. The lowest degree <br />of injury and yet most severe is fatal at 4%, which is equal to 33 lives. <br />Another 4% of collisions had null values and cannot be categorized. <br />Year-over-year quantities range from 154 to 219 reported pedestrian <br />collisions, averaging 30 fatalities and severe injuries each year. <br />Degree of Injury 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total <br />Not Stated 39 39 <br />Complaint of Pain 79 71 62 67 64 343 <br />Fatal 8 4 3 7 11 33 <br />Other Visible <br />Injury 71 45 68 38 49 271 <br />Property Damage <br />Only 21 11 23 17 29 101 <br />Severe Injury 21 28 24 25 21 119 <br />Grand Total 200 159 180 154 174 906 <br />Table 3-4: Degree of Injury per Year <br />Chart 3-5 shows the age of the pedestrians involved in the collision. <br />The column noted as ‘blank’ is missing the age data, so a large per- <br />centage of the collisions are missing the age of the pedestrian making <br />it difficult to find a correlation between age and collisions. If the colli- <br />sions without age data are disregarded, then the age distribution may <br />be what is expected with the greatest number of collisions occurring <br />with ages 15 to 28 that tend to be most physically active and quantities <br />slowly declining as people get older, become less physically active <br />and drive more often. <br />Chart 3-5: Pedestrian Collisions by Age <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 32 – 51 6/4/2024
