psac is the only city body specifically focused on pedestrians. given that pedestrians are often -- most often being killed and severely injured, it is important that our residents have an opportunity to serve and make recommendations to policy-making bodies. psac was created in 2001 more than a decade before san francisco adopted vision zero policy. we now have a city department vision zero task force and a community-based coalition. but when a 12-year-old was hit four days ago, now is not the time to get rid of a community-driven body dedicated to making recommendations on improving pedestrian safety. there was a time when psac struggled to make quorum, but with new members, attendance has risen and been consistent. city staff must also absolutely and appropriately support this body in being successful. in addition to the support of staff, in order to strengthen the work of psac, this legislation requires that within six months psac will submit to the board recommendations on possible changes to the structure or duties to strengthen their effort
