San Francisco leaders and community members came together Sunday to continue to fight for safer streets on World Day of Remembrance for Traffic Victims.
SAN FRANCISCO - Walk SF held a vigil at City Hall for the 317 victims who have died over the last 10 years, not to mention the countless more seriously injured in traffic accidents.Jenny Yu's mother is one of those victims.She was walking across the street in the Richmond District when a speeding driver in an SUV made a left turn and hit her.'She's nowhere near who she was,' said Yu. 'She survived physically, but she mentally is not the same person.
'We started counting when the city passed vision zero in 2014,' said Executive Director of Walk SF Jodie Medeiros.Medeiros says they call the shoes 'ghost shoes.' The shoes are painted white and represent every person killed in traffic crashes since city leaders committed to Vision Zero, a preventative approach to end severe and fatal crashes.
