“I'd suggest, yet again, that we start designing streets to force drivers to go slow and to make it so reckless drivers crash into things before people... Instead, any effort to narrow lanes and do things that would actually force safe behavior is immediately vetoed by SFMTA and the city” https://sf.streetsblog.org/2024/03/19/commentary-the-west-portal-tragedy-and-the-unfathomable-cost-of-motordom
too bad our mayor is two cars in a trench coat
@burritojustice You know, you don't have to get permission to buy concrete.
You can just go to the hardware store and buy it.
You know what it takes to build a bollard?
Drill a big hole in the ground, put some rebar in standing up, stand up a cardboard tube around the rebar, and pour concrete in.
It really is quite simple.
The people know *what* needs to be done.
There just seems to be some confusion about *who* should do it.
@burritojustice a SUV and a sheriff in a trench coat
@kurt zero fucks given a trench coat
@burritojustice I really wish we would make Streetsblog for doing good things versus this shit. I do like that @jef got published for scolding the Mayor.
@burritojustice just put road calming measures in place and reduce the speed limit in zones. Works here in Scotland.
@burritojustice from photos in the press, it looks like the motorist hit the shelter so hard the bodies of Diego Cardoso de Oliveira and his 1-year-old son, Joaquin, landed somewhere between 125 to 150 feet away.
