Neighbors in San Francisco implemented safety measures around a raised crosswalk to protect pedestrians from dangerous parking. However, the city quickly removed these measures, such as benches and planters, compromising safety again. Advocates highlighted the dangers this poses, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly and disabled, emphasizing the need for more robust infrastructure under the Vision Zero initiative. The illegal parking issue re-emerged, as the measures aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety were dismantled, undermining the community's efforts.
"Hardened infrastructure is critical to making our streets safer. In practice, San Francisco's Vision Zero infrastructure has been insubstantial and slow to be put in the ground."
"Literally hundreds of elderly, low-income, and disabled neighbors who live adjacent to Duboce Park... are not able to access it safely."
