Mount Hope Bleeds: City Stalls, Bodies Fall

Mount Hope: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Toll in Mount Hope

No one died in Mount Hope this year. But the blood still runs. In the last twelve months, 224 people were hurt in crashes here. Three were left with serious injuries. Children, elders, men and women—no one is spared. Crashes come day and night. A 71-year-old woman, crossing with the signal, was struck and left unconscious at Jerome and Burnside. A man’s leg crushed, a head split open, a life changed in seconds. The numbers pile up. The pain does not end.

The Machines That Hurt Us

Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. In three years, they caused 32 pedestrian injuries, including four serious ones. Motorcycles and mopeds hit 13, leaving one with a serious injury. Bikes hurt two. Trucks, buses, and even an ambulance added to the count. No one walks these streets without risk.

What Has Been Done—And What Has Not

The city talks of Vision Zero. They say the streets are safer. They point to new laws, like Sammy’s Law, that let the city lower speed limits. But in Mount Hope, the danger remains. The city has the power to set a 20 mph limit. They have not used it. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. Promises are made. Action is slow. The bodies keep coming.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. These are not accidents. Every injury is a choice made by leaders who delay, who wait, who do not act. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand more cameras. Demand streets that do not bleed.

Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
