"Please provide where this article or his comment only addressed pedestrian deaths?"
Well, gosh I guess you caught me deliberately trying to stir things up with assumptions and questions. I guess it's no use pointing out that the (slight) majority of the article was about pedestrians, and the same (possibly) amount might hold true with the comments, but that's mere speculation.
However... aren't you concerned that drunk or drugged drivers might have killed pedestrians? Maybe if the sidewalks had more shade ...
