Governor Newsom’s veto of SB 961 should make it clear to advocates and policymakers that we should organize and push for speed-limiters—which would actually prohibit people from speeding—rather than merely a single beep when you go 10 mph over the speed limit. No compromises ✊✊

Thankfully, this time no children or other people appear to have been waiting at the stop, but—as shown by the Apple Maps street view image of the bus stop—children and other people regularly wait at the stop.
We need a mayor who will transforming our streets and transportation.

Another SFMTA Muni bus shuttle was destroyed by a car driver, this time on O’Shaughnessy Boulevard near Portola Drive.
This is the result of dangerously designed streets and a transportation system that prioritizes cars and driver convenience over people, safety, and the planet.

Traffic enforcement is down throughout the country—including in San Francisco—largely due to police officers choosing not to do that part of their job.
But the solution is to redesign streets—not more enforcement—to help people shift trips away from cars. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/29/upshot/traffic-enforcement-dwindled.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-00.gfUQ.ddQI-yrDGtAL&smid=url-share

A person walking was killed in a car crash at Ellis and Jones Streets on Thursday.
Ellis and Jones are both four-lane, one-way streets with relatively narrow sidewalks and without protected bikeways.
SFMTA should install protected bikeways on both of these streets immediately.

San Francisco should convert all slip lanes into public plazas with planters, trees, seating, tables, and murals.
Doing this would instantly make streets safer and increase public space for people to gather, connect, and build community.
Slip lanes can be opened to people fast!

Bike parking — followed by outdoor dining — generates the most revenue for local businesses, nearly double the amount generated from on-street private car storage 👏
We need to inform local businesses of these facts, but also need SFMTA to make quick decisions based off of them.

“Through incentives and better street design, [San Francisco] can [become the bike-commuting capital of the country].”
“How can San Francisco […] become a more e-bike-friendly city? E-bike share, purchase subsidies and [a connected network of protected bike lanes].”
Yes, this!

If you’re sad or upset about the tragic killing of a family near West Portal Station, sign the petition to close the nearby area to cut-through car traffic and install transit-first lanes: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/westportal
This tragedy was preventable — you can prevent a future tragedy ⬇️

2024-03-21 17:44:07

With the death of the family’s infant, San Francisco has now had 11 roadway fatalities in 2024, putting us on pace of 50 fatalities this year — which would be 28% more than our next deadliest year, 2022, which had 39 fatalities.
People are being killed due to lack of leadership.

I am pleading for a mayoral candidate to say publicly that every roadway fatality and injury is preventable and that we need to take immediate action to address our roadway safety crisis (and the climate crisis).

I went to the vigil for the victims of Saturday’s car crash. It was somber and heartbreaking, but hundreds of people came in solidarity — a beautiful display of humanity.
SFMTA also shut down the intersection/area to cars. They should do that permanently: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/westportal/

Warren — another advocate and father of a young child — perfectly encapsulated my disgust and rage with this statement ⬇️
To make our streets safe for people, we must transform them by creating protected bike lanes and Transit-Only Lanes to help people shift trips away from cars

Please sign the petition below to close the intersection of West Portal Avenue and Ulloa Street to car traffic and make the area safe for people while making public transportation faster and more reliable.
With your help, we can make this area better now: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/westportal

Two people were killed in West Portal near the intersection of West Portal Avenue and Ulloa Street — an intersection with multiple Muni bus and train stops — and SFMTA should close the intersection to car traffic while it studies improvements.

The current mayor of San Francisco is driven 1 mile downhill in a 3-ton, 7-passenger, $100,000+ SUV during a roadway safety crisis and climate crisis.
We need a mayor who leads by walking, biking, or taking public transit.
Will the next mayor walk, bike, or take public transit?

The report also highlights that rear-end injury crashes decreased 42% at intersections with cameras, only 2.6% of violations were challenged, and only 15.5% of challenged violations were overturned 👏
Report: https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/nyc-red-light-camera-program.pdf
SFMTA should install more red light cameras!

🚦📸 Red light cameras increase safety, as shown in a NYC DOT report:
👍 Decrease in red-light violations
👍 Decrease in injuries for people walking and driving
👍 Decrease in right-angle injury crashes
Plus, they’re revenue positive ($334 million, or ~$2.5 million per camera)!

People biking on Valencia Street decreased by up to 53% after the unintuitive, dangerous center bikeway was installed.
SFMTA data from September shows a significant decrease, highlights need to install curbside protected bike lanes.

Literally can’t make this up: An opponent of a bus rapid transit project is claiming angled parking is a historic element of a street in a San Francisco neighborhood.
I wish this were a headline in @npub138m…mvaf, but it’s a real argument by made by the main opponent of this project.

Ugh, sorry to hear that (and glad you’re physically unharmed)!
This is exactly why I’ve been advocating — alongside @npub1lf7…xsn5 @npub16n8…u4x5 and others — for that diverter to be fixed for *5.5+ months.*
We need the diverter at Page and Masonic fixed ASAP! CC @npub14py…9ws9 @npub1h0s…ux28 @npub1exn…khvv
