As part of our efforts to advocate for changes to the Masonic corridor, we are conducting a survey of residents and users of Masonic Ave. and surrounding streets. This survey will give us valuable information to further advocate for changes on Masonic.

If you live or work in the area or even if you like to stroll through the Panhandle and have concerns with the Fell/Masonic or Oak/Masonic intersections, please fill out the survey at http://www.walksf.org/fixmasonic

This past week, a report by Board of Supervisors Budget Analyst Harvey Rose noted that the Mayor’s Office has taken funds away from the MTA that were intended to hire a Safety and Training Manager for MUNI. MUNI’s record on pedestrian safety has grown increasingly worse over the last couple of years. In 2005, MUNI vehicles hit 34 pedestrians and killed 3 of them. In 2007, it was 62 pedestrians hit with 7 fatalities. In just 2 years, you have an almost doubling of pedestrian injuries and a more than
doubling of pedestrian deaths.

This is not the time to be cutting positions within the Training and Safety function of MUNI to pay for staff in the Mayor’s Office. We have called on the Mayor to restore funds to MTA to fund this position again.

Walk San Francisco endorses the Parks Bond in this February’s election. Included in the bond is $5 million to restore walking trails, something that was cited as the number one concern of residents according to a survey by Rec and Park. This bond includes better oversight measures and also ensures that bonds will only be sold as previous bonds get paid off, thus ensuring that property taxes won’t rise.

We are saddened to hear about Susan Leal being hit by a car in front of City Hall and relieved to hear that it appears that she will survive. Twenty-seven pedestrians have died on city streets this year — more than double the number from last year. As we enter 2008, we look forward to the city re-doubling its efforts to make city streets safer for everyone.

A Story with a Happy Ending……

The newest and most dynamic San Francisco neighborhood – South Beach / Rincon Hill – is experiencing myriad growing issues, one of them being pedestrian safety problems. With the influx of so many new residents and businesses (not to mention the ballpark), there is a huge increase in both pedestrian and auto traffic. About 30 residents collaborated in September to submit a list of unsafe intersections to the mayor’s office for action. Jason Chan, the liaison for District 6 in the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, worked with both the MTA and the SFPD to push for action. The following positive changes have been made as a result:

All-Red Clearances installed at:
• Main & Folsom
• Harrison & Spear
• Harrison & 2nd
• Harrison & Essex

(Partial) Crosswalks repainted at:
• Main & Harrison
• Main & Folsom
• Main & Howard
• Embarcadero & Brannan
• Harrison & Spear

The MTA also approved installation of a center crossing island at 2nd & South Park.

Congratulations to all the proactive residents who took the time to participate in this successful drive for action.
