Oklahoma City, Oklahoma v. McCraw
Petition for certiorari denied on March 29, 2021
Issues: (1) Whether the risk of death or serious bodily injury to a
pedestrian sitting, standing or staying on a median in
a street with a speed limit of 40 miles per hour or
more constitutes a significant government interest in
protecting the health and safety of pedestrians even
though a pedestrian death has yet to occur; and (2) whether McCullen v. Coakley dictates that the government must, in all cases, present
evidence that it actually tried and failed to utilize less
burdensome alternatives, even when, considering the
nature of the articulated safety interest and the scope
of the ordinance, less burdensome alternatives do not
exist.
