Things I love today: Pedestrian Safety

This article just made my day! A campaign for pedestrian safety in San Francisco? Nineteen officers dedicated to the cause? It’s wonderful! Hooray for the San Francisco Police Department! If I run across a police office today, it will take all my willpower to stop from giving them a big bear hug!

As a daily member of the pedestrian masses in San Francisco, I know first hand just how scary it can be out there. (Mom, cover your eyes) I can’t even count the number of near misses I’ve had with cars and buses. One time, I was crossing an intersection covered with bright green “State law: yield to pedestrians” signs only to have a police car nearly run me down.

I hope I’ll see lots of bad drivers getting those $155 citations in the next few weeks. I couldn’t possibly be more happy about this campaign! Now if only they could get NextBus to work properly and find a way to shorten the lines at Safeway!
