Why????

My bike camera is mounted almost 3' off the ground. There is zero reason for a vehicle this size to exist, much less to roam neighborhood streets while kids are out walking & biking to school.

Today, we are heartbroken to post yet another sign for yet another pedestrian death.

We grieve the lives lost so senselessly on our streets & are here to support.

📩 Email City leaders to fix deadly intersections NOW at https://walksf.org/neveragain

@bikegridnow has gone quite on mastodon so I’ll share this. I’m planning to be there. This is our chance to get protected bike lanes in the busy stretch of MLK Ave through Logan Square. #bikechi #safestreetsforall

"We need streets designed for safety first, & that’s just not the case at too many intersections including Fourth & King." - Jodie Medeiros, Walk SF

We must rapidly expand our #infrastructure to meet the realities of 21st-century #modes of #transportation. This includes installations of #ebike #charging stations en masse and other resources to support this #workforce.

Walk SF is asking City leaders to take three key actions to fix deadly intersections like 4th & King.

Read our asks, and then send a quick email echoing these asks.

@RichmondFamilySF and it's not just fixing that intersection. We have unsafe streets throughout the city, and hazardous driving behaviors are much too high everywhere.

I don't understand why #SFPD has eliminated #sfpdtraffic in favor of officers hanging out at high end stores. Do we, as pedestrians, residents and taxpayers need to hire off-duty police like so many businesses do so that we can stop driver violence?

@MHowell
Thanks, the WP article on #Tesla linked from your link is great

But still. One shouldn't consider the #pedestrian and #cyclist fatalities are due to technical glitches - technologists will always promise version n+1 will do miracles.
It's a matter of policy and political will to apply the law, improve the law, change the #road #infrastructure, and change the minds.

Last day of #school. The kid's biking all the way home on her own for the first time.

We've been practicing for this day for weeks. She knows the rules, knows how to handle her bike, knows to look out for drivers because they're not looking out for her.

We can do this.

If you are out on the roads this afternoon, PLEASE keep your eyes peeled for happy kids about to embark on the best summer of their lives.

#SafeRoutesToSchool #KidsOnBikes #SafeStreetsForAll #HangUpAndDrive #BikeTooter

Ask me how awesome it feels to watch driver after driver cut you off in a #crosswalk while looking at their phones.

This is why we need dedicated, protected #pedestrian phases at every intersection.

And not after making us wait for 3 minutes.

Please and thank you.

#SafeStreetsForAll #VisionZero #DistractedDriving #Pedestrians

There's a quarter-mile stretch of #greenway on our route to #school that lets us momentarily forget to worry about the multi-ton high speed metal boxes that threaten our lives every day.

A moment of bliss in an otherwise screwed up world.

Here we go! Separated Bike Lanes on Higher Speed Roadways. Wooooot.

This morning's #BikeToSchool started out a little prickly, but it's hard to stay mad when you're riding a #bicycle. And if there's any angst leftover by the time you get to school, you can hug it out at the #bike rack.

#KidsOnBikes #BikeTooter #SafeRoutesToSchool #SafeStreetsForAll #LeaveTheCarAtHome

This morning we met up with 6 (SIX!) other #KidsOnBikes during our ride to school. Six smiling, happy, slightly flushed faces, all bright eyed and ready to start their day.

The activity, socialization, & independence these kids are getting is no small thing. The change in my kid's resilience & attitude since she's been riding her own bike to school has been remarkable.

When we deny kids #SafeRoutesToSchool, we deny them a huge part of their life.

Social media makes it easy to see how #motonormotivity affects the way people talk about safety. A new driver asked for tips on driving downtown. Pedestrians were the primary topic. The blame-shifting between “pedestrians have right of way but they don't wait for traffic to clear” and “go slow and wait for any pedestrians in the crosswalks" is clear. It is the responsibility of the less vulnerable to watch out for the more vulnerable.
