Pedestrian-safety advocates said they are excited to see more time and resources put toward eliminating traffic deaths, while calling for more concrete actions
San Francisco recorded fewer per-capita traffic deaths than five of 12 comparable cities within and outside of California during one of the final years of its initial decadelong quest to eliminate such fatalities, according to a recently published Controller’s Office report.
According to the recently published data, San Francisco recorded nearly zero bicycling traffic deaths per 100,000 residents in 2022, which was a lower rate than all of 12 cities measured and down from a peak of about 0.5 deaths per 100,000 residents in 2013. White’s organization said Thursday that a bicyclist who died of his injuries stemming from a crash with a parked San Francisco Public Utilities Commission vehicle on May 30 had collided with the car’s open door.
Among the 12 cities the office examined, for instance, San Francisco had a lower share of residents commuting by car in 2022 than all but New York and Washington, D.C. That same year, New York was the only measured city in which public-transit riders averaged more trips annually than San Francisco .
New tenants coming to troubled Emporium Centre San Francisco The newcomers to the beleaguered downtown mall include a city-backed program that gets young people paid internships and several retailers As of April, just 5.4% of San Francisco’s streets had a speed limit no faster than 20 mph, according to the dashboard. That was a higher share than in Los Angeles , Oakland and San Jose , but considerably lower than those of Washington, D.C. , Seattle , Minneapolis and Portland, Ore. . Of those four cities, Washington and Portland averaged more per-capita pedestrian deaths than San Francisco in 2022.
