The tragedy today on Howard Street is heartbreaking and my thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends. This is yet another example of why our streets need to be made safer for all users.

There are long-term safety improvements coming to Howard Street, and I am pushing to move those forward as fast as possible. But while we wait for these capital improvements, we need to make short-term safety enhancements, which I have instructed the SFMTA to do without delay.

Pushing for short-term safety improvements on high-injury corridors is exactly what I announced we would be doing earlier this week. Nothing will replace the life lost today, but we can prevent future tragedies by moving more quickly to implement street safety improvements.

Mayor Breed, how do you feel about
@sfmta_muni's recent decision to abandon bike lanes planned for this section of 6th Street? Would you like them to reconsider? - End of conversation

Thank you, but the quality of the work matters as well. Whatever has happened on Howard and 11th is far from being safer than what it used to be. This morning a cyclist almost got ran over by a truck turning right on 11th and the bike lane section there is messy.

Yeah Howard and 11th is a tricky one

I dislike the term ‘victim’. She was a person who was riding her bike. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
