Take action in response to the West Portal tragedy

We grieve for the pedestrians hit and killed in West Portal on March 16, 2024

One of the most devastating pedestrian tragedies in our city’s history happened on March 16, 2024.

A driver crashed their vehicle into the bus stop at West Portal, hitting and killing a family of four, including a toddler and infant.

We hold these precious, beautiful lives close in our hearts today and moving forward. And we say to all of San Francisco: let us unite for real change on our streets to prevent more of these tragedies.

Please send an email to all City leaders showing that San Francisco is united for real change on our streets.

Dear Mayor London Breed, Board of Supervisors, SFMTA Director Jeffrey Tumlin, SFPD Chief William Scott, SFFD Chief Jeanine Nicholson, DPW Acting Director Carla Short, DPH Director Grant Colfax, and SFCTA Executive Director Tilly Chang: I am heartbroken about the young family killed in West Portal. Things have to change, full stop. While people inside vehicles are safer than ever, those of us outside of vehicles are more at risk than ever. Cars, trucks, and SUVs can become deadly weapons in an instant. I’m calling on you, all of our City’s leaders, to step up to the all-too-real threat on our streets with new levels of commitment and in new ways. Across the board – in policies, decisions, projects, and funding – you must truly prioritize babies, toddlers, children, teens, adults, elders, and people with disabilities over the movement of vehicles on our streets. As the City begins its second decade of Vision Zero, we need to hear how you will rise to this challenge and take comprehensive, consistent actions for safe streets to prevent every tragedy possible. Count my voice as one of many, many concerned residents of San Francisco who stand for safe streets now.
