it's the high intensity crosswalk beacons. so what you've asked us to do and what we've tried to do is provide some outreach talking about the beacons in a way that is user friendly for both pedestrians and motorists. all right. we've got it up there. so if we go to the top, we see it's a guide to sloat boulevard's pedestrian beacons. we just went ahead, called it what it was. i think just to underscore what we're talking about, if you look under pedestrians, it says the crosswalk signals are no different from other signalized crosswalks. just follow the signals like you ordinarily would. so we think that that's appropriate and simple, and i think there's a lot of confusion when people combine thinking about the flashing beacons overhead versus the crosswalk signals for the pedestrians. what we're trying to do with this is to tell people if you're walking, don't look at these signals that are crossing, you use the crosswalk signals. that's all you have to worry about. of course there's an audible, as well, that says when you n

that means that it's less likely for a driver to see those crosswalks. and i'm also going to say that if you take a look at some of the seniors pictures you will notice that they'll be looking down. so they're not able to quickly, easily look to the left or the right, to see an oncoming car. i'm just going to suggest accelerate the monitoring and the painting of crosswalks. there should be more broadly painted crosswalks but somebody has to monitor those to make sure that they stay highly visible for one thing. beyond that, why can't there be more red light cameras if that is still a feasible alternative. why can't there be acceleration of the numbers of intersections that have the walking speed slow down. i'm surging things that already -- suggesting things that are already in process that could be sped up to make it safer while these studies are going on. that's still -- i still consider that bold and innovative. don't throw away what has been working. thank you. >> supervisor yee: san itch lee here? -- sanich lee here? no. anyone from sun can? go ahea

the north crosswalk. those details are given to us within a week. once we have combined the office study with the field study and the information that we get from the police department we'll make recommendations whether they be short term quick fixes such as fixing things that need to be repaired or adjusting things that may need a little bit more work. and all the way down to long-term capital projects that may require finding funding or finding additional resources to execute. we also work with other agencies. a couple of the fatalities that we'll talk about are right-of-way and so we work with the state department and caltrans, and sometimes there's lighting issues and issues that they help us with. so it's collaborative and very coordinated and making sure this gets the highest attention from all relevant parties. the first crash that i wanted to mention was the crash that happened at rice and san jose on a state route. this is a short highway that is on the caltrans restriction though it's a city str

crosswalks or signals to give lead time to pedestrians, and that's another -- you know, another factor that we really do know that it works. and if we could do more of that, it would be safer for not only -- not only for seniors but all pedestrians, okay? so could i -- oh, i'm sorry. commissioner? >> supervisor stefani: thank you. i just want to say something really quick in response to what miss deluca, in terms of caltrans and lombard street in my district, it's a high injury corridor, and i think it's something that could benefit from that. if i can follow up with you about that, i would love to do that. >> supervisor yee: okay. and this is an informational item, so let's go onto item -- we might not get through everything, so the next presentation, there's going -- it's going to be fairly short, i assume so, since we've talked about it already, item number five. >> clerk: item number five, community response, priority response, informational item. >> good morning, commissioners. i wanted to talk about the rapid response to fatalities protocol. we did talk about this last week at th

i mean, we also would like to stress that any time you're in a crosswalk, you should always look for cars. you should always look for cars if someone's not slowing down, make eye contact. we're limited by the space. this is a mailer, but that's something we can put on the webpage, as well. we have three items of communication. we have this flier, which is also a mailer, we have the website, and then, we also have the video, which are sort of a combined thing that -- package that we're going to use to make outreach to not only people along sloat but anyone who comes across one of these new beacons throughout the bay area. we're going to concentrate this campaign to sloat, but it's fungible, it can be expanded to other areas where the crosswalk beacons are installed. so we've covered what we wanted to cover for the pedestrians. and then, if you look here on the signal board, you can see what a driver would see, and that's in the left column. and then, the pedestrians are in the right column. and you know, we went to the added expense of making it color rather than black and white becau

we've repainted over 90 crosswalks, high-visibility crosswalks so drivers and pedestrians are clear about the rules of the road and they know where the crosswalks are and know how to use them safely. so we're very excited about our efforts at the m.t.a. in terms of engineering and crossing guards and education. but it can't just be -- it can't just be those efforts. we need everyone to participate in the effort to slow down and keep our kids safe, to move from that culture of speeding to the culture of safety that we need if we are going to achieve our ambitious goal of vision zero by 2024. i'd like to introduce the head of walk s.f. [applause] >> good morning, everybody. thank you, mayor breed, superintendent scott to talk about our partnership in making streets safe. for many parents, this weekend getting ready to go to school is more about new sneakers and backpacks and school supplies. it is the work of figuring out how their child will be getting to and from school safety. san francisco is proud to be part of the team that is making it possible to choose sustainable forms of transpor

and then, failure to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk. the thing that was very glaringly obvious to us in talking with my investigators was the amount of seniors that were in crosswalks that were contacted. they told me when they looked at the cases -- and there's a significant amount -- there's 44 cases between 2014 and 2018, but the one thing that was obvious to them was the left -- left-hand turn, which has always been a conversation with the vision zero partnerships, is that that has been one of the larger causes of these collisions, and so concentrating and looking at that is important. and then, i added fatalities by age groups. so the range, we broke it into 65 years and older. there are 13, 70 years and older, 16; 80, 14; and then, 90, 1. and then, females are 20 victims, and males, 24. and then, the time comparison that -- that the supervisors requested, this is the breakdown. obviously, after midnight, there aren't a lot of collisions. i believe there's just one, but it's obvious that at 13, between 9:00 in the morning and 12:00

at the intersection, so cyclists can use that crosswalk and then access. there's two green boxes to navigate that intersection which has bike lanes on most of the legs. this is the cross sections for san bruno avenue. this change is pretty simple. the existing southbound lane on san bruno intersection is extremely wide and we can just narrow that down it a minimum of ten feet and add a bike lane with a buffer and it doesn't change any parking on that street. so for drivers, the changes they would notice are the lane reduction on alemany boulevard from three lanes in each direction, to two. the project does include adjustments to the traffic signal timing along alemany boulevard to minimize traffic delay from that change. and two right-turn on reds would be prohibited at the alemany boulevard and bayshore boulevard intersection, we saw a second ago, to accommodate those two left-turn bike paths where cyclists would be waiting in front of the right turn lanes. as i mentioned, on san bruno avenue, just one of the lanes would get narrower, the muni bus route 8

we'll also be updating crosswalks where we have not already updated crosswalks along the corridor, and then we're also working quickly to establish and improve parallel alternative routes to the embarcadero, familnamely, the battery and sansome corridor to the financial district. these changes should be in the ground later this year in the southbound embarcadero and later next year for the sansome battery connection. many other details will be shared and discussed at the showcase. at this event we hope to dive deeper into the movie complex sections of the corridor where tradeoffs are greatest including related circulation change concepts and specific ideas for transit stop adjustments. the meeting will provide a public forum to review the proposed near team safety changes prior to their construction. and we hope and expect to have more information about the scope and the duration for the environmental phase of the project, which we anticipate including a more rigorous study of the exciting big idea that i alluded to earlier in front of the ferry building. here's an image of the physica
