“Everybody in the world can identify where the problems are. I’ve got two studies (to) tell me that. My problem is getting the money to pay for the things that improve it,” Wilson said Tuesday.

He’s working to develop an electronic database to help him analyze contributing causes, and to identify solutions to crashes involving pedestrians — a more efficient method than paging through piles of paper reports.

Wilson also is working to develop a policy to be presented as a bill to the city’s Board of Aldermen about ways to slow traffic in problem areas, such as speed humps.

And he wants to get a crosswalk law passed to make it easier for pedestrians to cross a street without stopping in the middle.

For example, if a person is walking across the street in a crosswalk through the southbound lanes of a street, southbound drivers must stop under current law, but northbound drivers do not.

“It’s almost like a two-stage crossing,” Wilson said.

Instead, he wants to see a law that would mandate drivers to stop in both directions.
