fatality was at 36th and slope
which is also a caltrans
facility.
this location that had a major
project that is just wrapping up
which activated a number of new
pedestrian beacons, they're
called hawks, which help the
vehicles stop when a pedestrian
is present.
i attended a meeting yesterday
at oakland caltrans headquarters
with high level manager there is
and we talk -- managers there
and we talked about doing
additional outreach and making
sure that the project wraps up
which i think that the last two
hawks have been turned on i was
told yesterday by the project
manager.
and making sure that we
follow-up as we learn more
information about it.
so the state and the city are
working in partnership to make
sure that we follow-up on, and
this was a project that the
state sponsored and followed up
on in terms of providing all of
these different crosswalks on
slope with additional traffic
signal devices to make sure that
the incidents like this don't
repeat themselves.
