We'll be monitoring this location closely to ensure that it is safe for people on bikes and on foot. There won't be a right turn on red restriction when the tunnel opens, but if we see safety concerns we will be ready to make adjustments.

What does monitoring mean? Because if it means waiting for crash data that's less then ideal.

This really is a case of better “safe than sorry”. Why not ban turn on reds until proven otherwise, instead of waiting for people to get hurt or worse and then banning it? Seems like modal safety priorities are out of line here.

You are really bad at this.

Can you tell us how many serious injuries or deaths are required before you'll implement safety improvements? I hate always having to guess this stuff.

I’m going to scatter some idling chainsaws around Westlake Park but if I see safety concerns I will be ready to make adjustments.

OMFG! Monitoring for what - cars blocking and hitting bicycles? Oh another cyclist is disabled now and in a wheelchair - maybe that free right on red wasn't a good idea! #sacarsm It isn't going to be safe - wake the fuck up! Get your fucking heads out of your goddamn asses!

Sadly, we can name names. SDOT is waiting for the next Sher Kung to die before making this street reasonably safe for ordinary travel. SDOT still hasn't done more than planning for where Lance David was killed. Does SDOT require a respected lawyer to be killed before acting?
