The Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford region once more tops the list of the country’s most dangerous places to walk. That’s according to the fifth annual Dangerous By Design report released this month by Smart Growth America.

Hattaway talked to Intersection about what the city is doing to improve pedestrian and cycle safety.
