Kansas City officials seek to end jaywalking penalties noting racial disparity in citations
A Kansas City, Mo., city council committee on Wednesday moved forward legislation that would end penalties for jaywalking and other pedestrian offenses that local leaders, including Mayor Quinton Lucas (D), have said disproportionately target people of color.
The changes were officially recommended by the city council's Transportation, Infrastructure and Operations Committee, including the repeal of an ordinance that imposed penalties for people walking through the street outside of a crosswalk.
