Las Vegas, One of the Worst Cities for Pedestrians

A recent study came out showing the top ten worst metro areas for pedestrians.  Las Vegas was number six on the list.  Add to that the string of pedestrian deaths in the last few weeks, and Metro Police and others are trying to figure out how to keep roads safe.  Is Las Vegas poorly designed?  What plan can help pedestrians and drivers co-exist on the roads?
