This morning saw another tragic fatality on Humboldt county streets. According to 2010 state data (above), Humboldt county already has a high rate of pedestrian-vs-vehicle collisions. But why? 

• Is it the way the intersections are designed?
• Is it a community unaccustomed to sharing the road?
• Do we have enough traffic enforcement officers on the ground? 

Emily Sinkhorn from KHUM's Happy Trails and the Redwood Community Action Agency talks about the myriad problems that contribute to unsafe streets locally, and she says there's no silver bullet. 

Cliff talks with Susan Doniger, District Interpretive Specialist at Fort Humboldt.  "Donkey Days" will be this Saturday and Sunday from 10am - 5pm and free to the public.  Along with this event, the fort's history is discussed along with it's controversy in the Native American community and the park's efforts to reach out to that community and tell the full story, warts and all.
