they lose two in a row for the third time this year. 110-100 and they are home against the suns tomorrow night. tiger woods has gone from the most intimidating golfer on the planet to a guy who looks like he just took up the sport of golf last week. dead last in the phoenix open. he was playing in his second event in months. what was shocking was tiger looked like a weekend hack out there. it was the worst round of his career. look at that. 132 players entered the phoenix open and tiger finished 132nd. golf channel analyst says tiger should beg his old coach to take him back. >> i don't know if this can happen. if he takes hat in hand -- if he asked him to jump off the golden gate bridge would he do it? yes i'm gonna do it. >> that's extreme. patriots have a slogan, do

your job. they believe marshawn lynch should keep that in mind. goodell in his state of the address said it was a tough year for the league. as for lunch and his reluctance to speak to the media he says answering the questions is part of the job. >> when you are in the nfl you have an obligation. it is an obligation to the fans. it is part of your job. i think mar sean understands -- marshawn understands the importance of the super bowl and the importance of his appearance and the importance of him as an individual in this game. >> take the patriots

1-800-273-8255 and press 1. ♪ welcome to "beyond the headlines, and this is about safety on the roadways, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. we know too many local residents have been killed or injured in bicycle-related incidents. we have a story filed in april about the city's worst location for pedestrian accidents and fatalities venice avenue between market street and gary. >> reporter: crossing van nuys avenue on foot is a dangerous game of beat the clock, no time to wait. >> dangerous to walk because of the traffic, you know, so people have to watch otherwise they lose their lives. >> reporter: this year, seven pedestrians lost lives in san

francisco, four killed, including the person seen on this surveillance video moments before getting struck by a car. >> we know the streets were designed not for pedestrian safety or anyone's safety. >> reporter: pedestrian advocate, nicole snider, says these streets were designed for cars, not people in mind. they hope this will send a message. >> collisions are preventful. they are not accidents. they are preventful things. >> reporter: she supports the vision 0 plan to eliminate pedestrian deaths in the next ten years through enforcement and redesign of traffic hot spots. >> a big truck just barely missed me, and it is scary. >> reporter: he says pedestrian deaths will keep happening as long as cars keep rolling. >> there's absolutely nothing they can do about it. it's a car culture. people are going to die, simple as that. >> reporter: police know the

crosswalk clock is ticking to save live, but they will try. >> when we travel, we are distracted or hurrying to get to an appointment, but we all have to take responsibility when an accident occurred. joining me now is ed risk, director of transportation for the san francisco municipal transportation agency. you have a huge responsibility. >> yeah, we have a lot we are responsible for. the snmpa is responsible for the transportation in the city including transportation planning, engineering, parking and traffic management, bicycle and pedestrian safety, regulate the taxi industry, and, of course, the m urgsuni system. >> that's a big, big job. there's 2 1 pedestrian fatalities in 2013, that's a six-year high. you have a plan to combat that called vision zero. >> yeah, 21 people died last

year trying to walk in the streets of san francisco. that's not something we should tolerate in a city like ours. vision zero has the goal to eliminate traffic fatalities in san francisco in the next ten years, and that's something i do think is achievable. it'll take a lot of work, a lot of education, and enforcement, but takes redesign of the streets. we'll focus in all the areas, but really redesigning the streets to make them safe for all road users whether you are walking, driving, on a bike, or riding the bus. >> you have to coordinate with a lot of agencies to make that happen. >> we do. we've been working closely with the department of public health and police department to really understand where the accidents or the collisions, i should say, are happening, why they are happening, and then understanding what interventions, what physical design changes that we can make in the streets to make the likelihood of them happening in the future much less likely. >> yeah, i just -- when that bicyclist was saying people are going to die, that's something

that we don't even want to think about. you want to stop that. >> i think if we don't do something different, i think he's right. >> yeah. >> we are committed as a city from the mayor to the board of supervisors to my board of directors and many people i speak to in the public who are absolutely committed to doing something different, to redesigning our streets, to taking the counsel that you gave that we have a responsibility to act more responsibly when we're out in the public's right of way and make sure the laws are enforced. redesigning the streets are a part of that, and that's the main thing we are driving towards. >> that's huge. how do you think people will respond to this? will you get the response you need? >> i think san francisco voters have a good track record understanding of need to invest in our infrastructure whether it's libraries, parks, or police station. the voters have understood the need, i think a lot of people are alarmed by the fact that people are dying in the streets. i don't think anyonements that to happen. i'm confident that with the right education that we'll get

good support in november and make changes in our streets to make it safer for everybody. >> well, what you are doing is very ambitious and you have tsa's be nice, look fwitwice, de like your mom's changes people's behavior? >> we can't rule out everybody's behavior, we have enforcement, police stepped up enforcement, education, and awareness getting people to think of their responsibility when out in the streets. the distraction we see from the mobile devices people have is not helpful so it's our hope these public service announcements remind people they have a responsibility, particularly if they are operating a motor vehicle to ensure they and everybody else out there remain safe. >> good luck with the campaign. we'll do our part to help you. >> thank you very much. >> all right. we have to take a short break, but when we come back, we'll hear from a local family who is coping with a deadly commission. stay with us.

we'll be rig welcome back to "beyond the headlines," and we're talking about the importance of safety on the streets for pedestrians and bicyclists. we reported a somber breaking

news story about a devastating accident the morning of may 23rd, 2013, a bicyclist and truck collided. the cyclist pronounced dead at the scene. 21-year-old dylan mitchell was the cyclist, and his family is here now to talk about the young man whose life was tragically cut short, and visiting with us from clayton is julie minutchel his mom, and his brothers. julia, starting with you. you to you told me before we started the segment, your son just moved there and started a new job. he rode his bicycle. he was riding it to work? >> he got into the electrical apprenticeship program. he had been in it for three months and was tired of the commute, so he had moved to san francisco a week before, and was riding his bicycle to work. >> riding a bicycle never had a

problem before for him, right? >> no. he used to ride his bike in clayton to work too. >> tell me what you remember about your brother? >> he was always really nice, and, yeah, his personality was great, always fun. >> dusty, what do you remember about your brother? any stories you want to share with us? >> he was a great athlete. he took me to wrestling practice when i was in 4th grade and he was in high school. he was just really fun. >> uh-huh, and, robert? >> always happy, outgoing, and talked to everybody. just a really fun person. he always wanted to have fun. >> so he was a good guy? >> yeah. >> i was asking whether who was the biggest problem in the family, and you all pointed at each other. julie, what are some of your fond memories about your son? >> he was just always positive. i don't think i've ever known anyone as positive as him.

he was an inspiration. i mean, in fact, he received the most inspirational kid when he was in high school. he got an award for that. he was always involved in the community. he did coaching. he was a camp counselor for outdoor ed for both of the boys, dusty and robert, when they went to outdoor ed. he just always wanted to help people. >> how have you been able to get through this year? >> it's been pretty torturous. if it was not for all the community that we live in that's been extremely supportive, i don't know how i would have gotten through this. i've also started a mom's grief group with just some of the other moms in my town that i

know have lost children around dylan's age too. >> julie, you said your son was an expert bicyclist, very skilled and very safety aware. alert. so -- and then you say -- hear about an accident like that, you analyze the details. >> i think that there needs to be changes in the city to make things safer in that that's what would have made a difference. >> and you're part of a campaign to make that happen. >> yes. >> tell me about that. vision zero? >> yeah, vision zero, which is to eliminate bicycle and pedestrian deaths to 0 basically in the next ten years. >> uh-huh, yeah. have you noticed that you have changed your situational awareness, i guess you could call it, yourself? >> yeah, definitely. i'm super careful now before i make a turn, just always watching out for bicyclists and

people crossing the street, and always, like, i look three times before making a turn. >> yeah. >> because i think that would have saved dylan's life. >> mateo do you do anything differently because of what happened to your brother? do you make changes in a crosswalk or ride your bicycle? >> yeah, i always look both ways really good before i start walking. >> i want people to know you have taken this horrible tragedy, your whole family has, and really done something wonderful to help other families. i want to commend you all on that. >> thank you. >> and what would your message be to folks out there watching you today? >> i just want people to look, pay attention what they are doing while they are driving so that another family doesn't have to go through the devastation we had to go through. >> good advicadvice. mateo? >> i want drivers to be, like, more safe, more careful. >> i'm going to go down the line

here. >> try not to text and drive. >> very important message, i see people doing that, grownups too, texting and driving, good advice. >> people to be more careful when driving and pay attention to everything that's around them. >> uh-huh, thank you so much for being here today. we do have to take a break right now. when we come back, we're going to learn about the good work being done to make our

welcome back, talking about our streets and roadways becoming more safe for pedestrians and bicyclists. joining us now in the studio is the commander from the san francisco police department special operations bureau meaning you handle transit-related issues, and sheryl brinkman, vice chairman of the board with san francisco municipal transportation agency. there's a campaign to create safer streets for traveling, and i know it's important as a driver and as a pedestrian, but why is it so important the sfpd to do this? >> this is way we do. we're in the business of providing service and protection to our communities, and we want to make certain that an issue that is obviously in front of us, that being pedestrian and bicycling safety and roadway safety in general is something that we are focusing all of our resources on. >> unfortunately, we hear too

many times when pedestrians are at the losing ends of accidents and bicyclists as well. >> it's a nature of the beast. pedestrians and bicyclists will always come short when it comes to any type of collision with a motor vehicle, and so as a result, our focus is on addressing the behaviors of the most problematic when it comes to vehicle collisions. >> all right. sheryl, you have a campaign called be nice, look twice. love the name. it's easy to remember, right? >> exactly. >> that just reminds everybody, all of us, and i catch myself slowing down, give myself extra time now to get to work because i worry i don't want to be one of the folks who hurt somebody. >> you don't. no driver and nobody leaves the house in the morning thinking i'm going to get involved in an accident, hurt someone, or be hurt. that campaign and the new one coming out, drive as if your mother's in the crosswalk. i like that a lot. remind everybody no matter what the mode, and bicyclists as well, bike as if that's your grandmother crossing the street, like that's your mother, someone

you love. every out there on the streets loves someone and has someone who loves them. let's not be the person who causes grief and injury to somebody else. >> you know, when i see people who just appear to be stepping into the crosswalk, so when is it correct to stop? >> when the light -- the green hand is presented to the pedestrian, they can enter the crosswalk. but if the light turns to red, they can't enter the crosswalk. if they are not already in the crosswalk, the countdown is more so for the people in the crosswalk telling them how much time they have to get to the other side. it's not an indicator for a person who is on the sidewalk to try to rush across the street with four seconds left. >> and a cup of coffee, right? sheryl, i don't know how you feel about this, you rode your bike here. a bike share. >> yeah, i rode a bike share from work. there's rules for every mode of travel.

we have rules for cars, bicyclists, pedestrians, best case scenario, we follow the rules and we're all safe. worst case, nobody follows, and that happens in a lot of cities. we have to make sure you can accommodate somebody else's mistake or somebody else's lapse of attention. if you're going more slowly in a car, more slowly on a bike, paying attention as a pedestrian, everybody has a chance to recover from that era. the bus i was on this morning, a car stopped right in front of her to let a passenger out. thankfully, you know, the mark on market street, the driver paid attention, she stopped. the pmassengers were holding on. it was fine, just slow down and think of the consequences of driving too fast, the consequences of running a stop sign, stepping off the curb not paying attention. if we slow down and do that, we'll bring the injury rate down as long as better street engineer and design and

enforcement. >> i want to ask about enforcement. i see people who completely ignore all the rules, and i'm a bicycle fan, but i see bicyclists who try to cut in front of me as i try to make a right turn or run the light. do you do the enforcement a lot now? is it getting tougher? >> we have increased enforcement. in fact, this year, we saw a 55% increase in the number of citations our officers issued. we can't be everywhere so focus has to be on the behaviors that are most problematic as it relatin relates to the collisions, and you talk about those running red lights, speeding, not yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks or yielding in left turns, distracted driving, driving with your ear buds in the ear. >> because of this enforccement you this a 10% reduction of fatalities in the first quarter. that's great. >> it is good.

>> it's the beginning, right. >> there's so much to do with engineering to make our streeter safer, narrower lanes mean slower speeds, shorter crossing distance so pedestrians are not in the roadway as long, and protected bicycle lanes keeps the modes separated to feel safer riding a bicycle. a car driver knows where the cyclist will be, the pedestrian can see the car and the car the pedestrian. from the point of the cyclist, the more people on bikes, the more safe it is for all the cyclist, and the more middle-aged ladies like me on bicycles, the more difficult it will be for a younger, more aggressive breed of cyclist to do what they sometimes like to do. if there's five of me in the bike lane ahead of them, they don't have the aid and abbility through the crosswalk. >> thank you for being here.

welcome back to "beyond the headlines," and we've been talking about safety measures for pedestrians and bicyclists on the roadways, but it's also important to remember caution around our railroad tracks. a heart broken east bay mother has been making a public plea for young people to take their

focus off their phones and pay more attention to their surroundings. britney silvo was killed by an amtrack teen in may. the family says she was texting and listening to music when the accident happened. >> she was listening to music, both head phones in. >> cynthia says what she thinks happened to her daughter, britney, as the teen walk across the train tracks before 6:00 p.m. monday night. >> looki ining down like this, t see the arms down behind her, had the headphones in, and she couldn't hear the train coming. >> 18-year-old britney silva died instantly when the train hit her at high speed. apparently because of the ear buds, she did not hear a witness yell for her to get out of the way. >> i tell all of you young ones out there, when you walk down the street and you got your headphones on, keep one in and

one out so you can hear the world around you. >> she was a senior at the high school set to go to the prom this weekend and graduate in june. >> she was always so nice and complimenting people all the time, you know what i mean? so outgoing and loving. this is such a tragic thing that happened to someone who is so special. >> students signed a big sheet of paper to britney's family including her mother and 11-year-old sister. >> like, everyone loved her. everyone knew her. she would always dance, always. she was always giving me great advice. >> wow. a powerful and sad story. join uing us a khristine dun, an information officer for the transportation authority. now, the story that we just watched, christine, but cal train running the peninsula on

commuter rail and you have a big area to cover. >> yeah, that's right, cheryl. we go from san francisco to san jose. it's about 50 miles. we go through a number of highway pop pew laulated areas, through downtown and 50 railroad crossings. something people need to be very aware of the train. we operate 92 trains a day, and it's something people need to be aware of and careful with on the railroad tracks. >> the temptation to walk on the tracks, they are quieter these days, and with the ear buds, you will not here it. >> we have operate a push-pull system so the locomotive is on the southern most end of the train, and if the train is going north, you will not hear the train until it's right on top of you. >> we have a video, an example of the pedestrian gate. the trains go by fast, so as we watch the video, i want to keep talking about the fact that these -- the train arm comes down for just a short amount of

time. >> right. we are authorized by the federal railroad administration to operate our trains at 79 miles per hour. they do go that fast. if a train is not scheduled to stop at a station, it could be going as fast as 79 miles per hour. the train gates come down 29 seconds before the train enters the crossing. >> doesn't seem like a long time, and folks try to beat that. i just don't understand it. >> it's really a foolish thing to do. there's nothing more important than your own life, and it takes minutes for the train to pass. we have pedestrian gates at all the crossings, wait behind the gates until the train has passed. >> you offer a free safety education program. >> yes. cal train's a member of operation lifesaver, a national rail safety organization, and we offer free safety programs. we give them to all ages, to all groups, and we encourage people to come and call us and sign up to get a safety presentation.

we'd be happy to talk about it. >> we have 20 seconds left. you finished raising the tracks for safety. >> yeah, that's in san bruno, elevating the train tracks above the three street crossings in the city of san bruno, a tremendous safety improvement for the city. >> thank you so much for your education. we posted all the stuff on our website for folks at home. appreciate you being here. >> thank you for having us. >> we do have to end the program right now because we've run out of time, but we have more information about today's program so just go to our website, abc 7news.com/community and on facebook, and follow me on twitter @cherylabc7.
