Especially on our crowded streets, cars can be deadly. We were tragically reminded of yesterday on Taylor Street. Our city corridors must be made safer with better design by re-prioritizing who we build our streets for.

In March I instructed
@SFPD to increase enforcement of dangerous driving most likely to result in collisions by meeting the "focus on the five" goal and issuing at least 50% of citations to these violations. I'm disappointed that while we met this goal in April, we missed in May.Show this thread
Today I received re-assurance that @SFPD is on track to hit this goal moving forward. When this data comes in by month, I'll be sharing it here publicly. We need to continue to set difficult-to-meet goals and then deliver because we don't have time to wait.

How strong is the evidence that an increase in SFPD enforcement reduces traffic deaths? If our goal is zero fatalities why aren't we removing car, truck, and bus traffic from some of our streets?

I live next to Taraval Station. It’s obvious how little SFPD cares about traffic rules — particularly including the “focus on the five” — by watching how they themselves drive around the station. I regularly see them blow through stop signs with no viable sign of an emergency.

We need enforcement. Actual cops writing citations. All SFPD should be ticketing unsafe drivers.

How about addressing the problem by removing or banning vehicles from city streets?
