Skyways help boost pedestrian safety stats but roads are a bit dicey. Maybe innovations on 1st and Hennepin will help. -Suzie, Minneapolis
No. Minneapolis is the only city where I have been hit as a pedestrian. I lived my first 25 years walking in Philadelphia. -anonymous

Yes I do but there is the occasional incident. -Jasper Morgan, St. Paul
Yes I feel safe. Not only is Minneapolis pedestrian-friendly but the drivers are overly cautious as well. -Trevor, Minneapolis
Yes, I feel safe. -Elise, Plymouth
