Another cyclist fatality
Saw this one on the Wisconsin Bike Fed blog:
http://wisconsinbikefed.org/2016/06/22/driver-hits-kills-co-worker-...
Unlike other incidents I've seen reported, this one appears to involve people who likely knew each other. The two were coworkers, both working for WS Packaging Solutions in Algoma, WI.

In reviewing my Google alert for cyclist deaths, I noticed this item:
Kalamazoo 5-foot bicycle ordinance gets green light
I think it's a good thing in general, though considering the details of that crash, I suspect it wouldn't have helped in that instance.
Also, at the end of the short piece was an indication that improved bike safety is under consideration at the state level in Michigan:
Tomorrow in Lansing, the Kalamazoo County prosecutor is set to testify in front of a Senate subcommittee, regarding new legislation that would stiffen penalties for drivers who injure or kill vulnerable road users, like bicyclists or runners.
