			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks Doug,&#160; I dug into it a little more and our 39% with no location data (2012-2021) is on the high side.&#160; State wide only 27% of ped crashes didn&#039;t have location data in 2021, Wilco is about the same at 27% for 2021.&#160; Cedar Park is an outlier for Wilco with 89% no location data in 2021!</p><p>I plan on compiling a short presentation for city council to see if we can do a better job of recording this information with emphasis that we are the worst in recording this data in the area.&#160; The TxDOT database also included fatalities which tell some interesting stories as well.&#160; Countywide about 7% of ped crashes included a fatality, for vehicle crashes it is less than 1%.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>If that&#039;s what you&#039;ve found in the TxDOT Crash Record Information System, well, I can&#039;t think of a more authoritative source for Texas-specific data, so ... it looks like you&#039;ve answered your own question and it does seem to be typical.</p><p>For nationwide data <a href="https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/#!/" rel="ugc">FARS</a> would be the source, and I suspect it&#039;s similar but I haven&#039;t actually checked.</p><p>Alas, from what I&#039;ve seen the only way to even come close to ensuring that a crash is properly investigated [edit: and documented/recorded] is for somebody to <em>die</em> ... and even that doesn&#039;t always work.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Just near my house there has been one child per month hit walk/biking to school and yesterday we had our first death:&#160; <a href="https://www.kxan.com/news/local/williamson-county/1-killed-in-deadly-cedar-park-crash-21-year-old-arrested/" rel="ugc">https://www.kxan.com/news/local/william … -arrested/</a></p><p>There might be more incidents but the data is not that great.&#160; Looking at the <a href="https://cris.dot.state.tx.us/public/Query/app/home" rel="ugc">TxDOT Crash Record Information System</a> it appears 39% of pedestrian crashes and 24% of cyclist crashes do not have location data associated with them so it is difficult to pin point problem areas.&#160; By comparison, less than 5% of vehicle crashes have no location data.&#160; Does anyone know if this is typical for ped/cyclist crashes to have less location info?</p>]]></description>
