The pedestrian advocacy group Walk San Francisco on Wednesday decried the latest pedestrian death in the city. He was the 16th pedestrian to die in a traffic collision this year.
"We face more threats than ever when walking," Walk SF executive director Jodie Medeiros said. "The pandemic unleashed even more aggressive driving, especially dangerous speeding. And too many streets are still designed to prioritize moving traffic quickly instead of prioritizing people's safety."
According to the group, Supervisor Gordon Mar -- who represents the Sunset District -- is holding a community meeting at 5 p.m. Monday to discuss recent crashes in the neighborhood. The meeting will be in the community room at the Taraval Police Station at 2345 24th Ave.
