. >> lori juicy, miles cooper, cathy deluca. >> hi. i'm lori. i just wanted to support the townsend bike lanes. i'm happy to hear that we need bike lanes in there as soon as possible. it's obviously, as supervisor kim said, an untenable mess. the bike lane, i don't use it there, because it's easier and safer to ride in traffic, because people are pulling in and out of the bike lanes all the time. on my way home from the mission, i go mission to embarcadero every day, coming back, it's just people are pulled over on the side of the road across from caltrain. and i really encourage everyone to support it and not back-pedal again. thank you for your support. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i am frustrated that it would be taken off the table and put back on. i'm here because my 4-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer. i go to stanford with her on a regular basis. she climbed into a radiation vault and sat in there by herself 20 minutes a day. she has no fear but asked me to stop riding on townsend. i get off 1 1/2 blocks away and i rid

kathy deluca. i am the program and policy director at walk san francisco. really glad that caltrans is here and really glad to see the video and education and at the same time, having highways that run through our city is extremely dangerous when they're designed like highways and not like city streets. so in that video, i know we all chuckled, and i did, too, when we saw the person who is demonstrating across the street when they are running -- jogging because it's scary to cross six lanes of a street to get to the other side. so i want to urge caltrans -- i know you're taking pedestrian safety seriously, but i think one thing with sloat, i think it's like putting lipstick on a pig. i think we need to change the street rather than sort of band-aiding what's happening now because two people have been killed at sloat and 36th just trying to get across the street since october, and that's unacceptable. so caltrans, we need you to design these streets as city streets. thank you. >> supervisor yee: tha

i am kathy deluca, the project coordinator for walk sf. so first, i'll start with the senior and disability work group. so this group forms in -- formed in 2016, and ad vocates from several departments came together and decided we needed to do something. it wasn't okay that two was killed. we knew that market was a high injury corridor. so we quickly formed this group, and we actually rallied together and made some changes. we were able to get leading pedestrian intervals on market street after we joined together. we got better turn restriction signage because we know on the safer market street project there are a lot of turn restrictions, and is it ae confusing -- and it's confusing, and we were also involved in the city driver training, so we've been getting a lot of good things accomplished together. the city has been putting in a lot of protected bike lanes, which is really good, but there are a lot of consequences, and so we got a group together to talk about this. basically, when you have protected bike lanes against the curb, you lo

i'm cathy deluca, policy and program director at walk san francisco. when projects are delayed, people die. we've seen that on mission street, the project has been delayed for three years. and we just saw the same thing with kevin manning. when projects are delayed, people die. and i am excited to hear that townsend will move forward. i guess i'm not hearing a sense of urgency today. while san francisco works with the san francisco bay area families for safe streets, these are people who have lost loved ones or are victims of crashes themselves. and the absolute trauma that people feel every day is something that i never, ever want to experience in my life. i'm here today because for better or for worse for you all, it's your job to make sure that no one ever suffers that. and i know vision zero -- our goal is not until 2024, but not one person should die before then. not one person should ever die on our streets. friends and family of kevin manning are in such pain right now and we and you can do something about it. please, don't start investigating s
