LAST NIGHT we created a temporary safe path on Valencia St for ppl biking & scooting while motorists idled in the bike lane.
It is a disgrace that 1 of SF's premiere retail corridors & a major N/S bike artery continues to be a dangerous car sewer. This must change. #justaminute

The city's walkers and rollers won't be the only beneficiaries of a permanent highway closure. Nearby businesses will see a spending windfall. sfstandard.com/opinion/2024/…

Gridlock Gov. Kathy Hochul decision to pause congestion pricing will allow carnage to continue to spread on Manhattan streets, as drivers kill and maim pedestrians and cyclists throughout the would-be tolling zone. nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/07/…
Today we’re launching a live crash tracker of vehicle related injuries in NYC’s congestion pricing zone enabled by @kathyhochul’s abhorrent decision to delay the program indefinitely.
Hochul's decision is an attack on NYC's most vulnerable residents.

It's really sad to see @sfstandard perpetuating a stereotype that applies to a tiny fraction of people who ride a bike in San Francisco.
This kind of language incites violence against the thousands of moms & dads in SF who bike because they cannot or choose not to drive a car.
Another day, another pedestrian run down in the Tenderloin. This is our 25th traffic fatality this year.
SFMTA will do a site visit to ensure the stop signs are working & then you can expect the next fatality on December 17th. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…
If anyone has any information about this crash please add it to our fatality map by clicking the "I knew this person" button on the right side of the screen.

NYC is again banning cars from 5th Ave during the holidays. Last year this brought $3M in spending to the area & made it safer & healthier for millions of people.
@LondonBreed A vibrant & safe @UnionSquareSF starts with banning cars not more cops.

Your periodic reminder that I produce maps & data analyses to support safe streets advocacy, including a breakdown of where cars live in San Francisco alongside demographic data & how people commute to work.

TW – A cyclist was just hit by a driver whipping a K-turn on Haight St.
I rushed outside to administer first aid. Cyclist has serious face/head trauma but should survive.
WHEN THE FUCK IS THIS GOING TO END @jeffreytumlin !!

‘Freakish, bizarre accident’ is bullshit Nora. Richard died because @SFMTA_Muni refuses to install concrete traffic calming measures in the TL where 80-90% of residents DO NOT OWN A CAR.
Post St is a 3 lane, 1 way freeway designed for speeding cars.

It's now been 7 months since @SF_DPH updated SF's official #VisionZero dataset. 2 weeks ago I submitted a PRR which they just closed citing "ongoing technical issues".
It is pathetic that a city "committed" to ending traffic violence can't even manage collecting data on it.
What's further infuriating is that this issue has been brought up multiple times by myself & other advocates at @SFMTA_Muni board hearings & yet @jeffreytumlin and @aeaken have done nothing to address it.
In fact, no one on the board has even acknowledged that this is a problem.
Crash data is critical to evaluating our progress towards VZ. Without it, we're literally flying blind.
I've offered multiple times to help @SFMTA_Muni, @SFPD & @SF_DPH organize & analyze this and other VZ data and every offer has been ignored.

All hands on deck! We may lose 3-day #CarFreeHayes in less than 24 hours. Show up for public comment, 1pm tomorrow, or email @SFMTA_Muni to support car-free Hayes.

The Hayes Valley Shared Spaces program has been a lifeline for merchants over the past 3 years. Now SFMTA wants to cut this car-free space from 3 days to 1.
I analyzed crash data & EMT response times to HV to understand HVSS's impact on public safety. 🧵 transpomaps.org/san-francisc…
The SFFD have long fought against car-free spaces citing their potential impact on EMT response times.
Instead of placing onerous requirements on merchants who want to create outdoor marketplaces, they should look into why it takes them 20-30 mins to go 3 blocks. Hint: #traffic
Tomorrow (10/17/23) the SFMTA board will vote to either keep the current 3 day HVSS programming or reduce it to just 9 hours on Saturdays.
Please send an email right now (2 taps) to help us keep & expand this critical car-free space.
