of combined collisions. Similar levels of collisions occur on Fairview Street, Flower Street, North Broadway, and Bristol Street (all north to south). Some corridors are much shorter lengths within city boundaries but still demonstrate hotspots, such as along Euclid Street, Newhope Street, Harbor Boulevard, and Tustin Avenue (all north to south). Ten -Year Heatmap Figure 3-6 looks at ten years of collision points which appear to follow a similar pattern as the five years of collision points shown in Figure 3-5. Both heatmaps show the same hotspot areas, though have higher numbers of collisions, as is expected with a longer, but more or less remain to the same footprint. 3.3 Pedestrian Collisions Based on collisions from the past five years of available data, Chart 3-4 shows the degree of injury for pedestrian collisions. The highest de- gree of injury is a complaint of pain at 39% of all pedestrian collisions, followed by visible injury at 31%. Severe injuries are the next highest at 13% followed by property damage only at 12%. The lowest degree of injury and yet most severe is fatal at 4%, which is equal to 33 lives. 14% 12 ■ Complaint of Pain ■ Fatal 39% ■ Other Visible Injury ■ Property Damage Only Chart 3-4: Degree of Injury for Pedestrian Collisions Another 4% of collisions had null values and cannot be categorized. Year -over -year quantities range from 154 to 219 reported pedestrian collisions, averaging 30 fatalities and severe injuries each year. Degree of ..

The column noted as `blank' is missing the age data, so a large per- centage of the collisions are missing the age of the pedestrian making it difficult to find a correlation between age and collisions. If the colli- sions without age data are disregarded, then the age distribution may be what is expected with the greatest number of collisions occurring with ages 15 to 28 that tend to be most physically active and quantities slowly declining as people get older, become less physically active and drive more often. 250 200 150 100 50 38 ■ Severe Injury 0 125 111 105 r� 32 5 225 1-14 15-28 29-42 43-56 57-70 71-84 85+ blank Chart 3-5: Pedestrian Collisions by Age 46
