[Carfreeliving] Location of tomorrow's ped protest

[Emily Drennen]

Hi-

Amber pointed out that the location of our protest tomorrow wasn't in our blurb: the intersection of Mission and Duboce. Hope to see you tomorrow at 12:30 with your best construction outfit on!

Thanks,

Emily

Hey all,

Come to our protest, please? It is our first in a few years, and we'd love to have loads of folks there. Plus, there is a groovy construction worker theme, so you can be that Village People guy that you always wanted to be! Please forward the blurb below to anybody you think might be interested in showing up.

Thanks,

Emily

Ramp Up Pedestrian Safety! It’s Time for Concrete Change

For months now, the crosswalk on the east side of Mission 
and Duboce has been closed to pedestrians while construction 
crews work on the Octavia Boulevard off-ramp. In the meantime, 
you have to cross three busy and dangerous streets at one of 
Mission’s widest points, just to get to the other side. Or if 
you’re trying to catch a bus, you might play “chicken” with 
the line of cars turning to go to the freeway. Some choice.

By law, pedestrian access must be maintained during 
construction. Despite numerous attempts to get DPT to fix the 
situation, though, nothing has been done. Not even the 
Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, San Francisco’s official 
citizen body for pedestrian issues, has gotten a response.

Plans call for eventual pedestrian improvements at this 
intersection, but we won’t see them for several months. How 
long do we have to wait to cross the street?

Join Walk San Francisco, Senior Action Network, and SWING! on 
Tuesday, April 19th, at 12:30 as we demand that DPT restore 
pedestrian access at construction projects around the city. 
Speakers include Supervisor Chris Daly, Emily Drennen (Acting 
Executive Director of Walk San Francisco), and senior advocates 
from SAN. 

Wear your best construction costume with hard hats, 
hand tools, and safety vests!
