Local activists say there's a silent epidemic when it comes to what's happening in our streets: a rising number of pedestrian injuries and fatalities. It's the subject of an upcoming Rochester Street Films event hosted by Reconnect Rochester.

We preview the event, and our guests weigh in on how to make our streets safer for pedestrians. Our guests:
