Member, Board of Supervisors City and County of District 7

NORMAN YEE

One of the most critical issues facing District 7 residents today is pedestrian safety. It is a top concern of my constituents, based on the high volume of e- mails and calls to my office. Long term data may indicate that pedestrians in District 7 are safer than many areas of San Francisco. However, of the first eight pedestrian fatalities in San Francisco before mid-March, 2013, four occurred in District 7. Additionally, in San Francisco, over 800 pedestrians are hit by cars every year and each year approximately 100 of them are severely injured or killed. California ranks second worst in the country for Pedestrian Collisions.

The need for action is clear. As my office focuses on creating safer streets for our pedestrians, the City of San Francisco is concurrently increasing its awareness of the issue. In April 2013, Mayor Edwin Lee published the “San Francisco Pedestrian Strategy.” The solutions outlined in this document are intended to reach a citywide target of a 25% reduction in serious and fatal pedestrian injuries by 2016, and a 50% reduction by 2021.

In my first act as Supervisor, I called for a hearing on pedestrian safety issues in District 7. The hearing, held in April 2013, brought key City departments together to report on their current efforts to improve pedestrian safety. These departments included the Department of Public Works, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, the Transportation Authority, Department of Public Health, District Attorney’s Office and the San Francisco Police Department. We also heard testimony from more than 30 members of the public, most of them District 7 residents. These public statements both emphasized dangerous intersections that the City is already working to address as well as shed light on additional areas the departments had not yet identified.

The hearing was the first time that multiple City departments were invited to coordinate and collaborate with members of the public around District 7 pedestrian safety. Based on the success of the hearing, we decided to create a living document that would help guide the City to make improvements for pedestrian safety for District 7 in a transparent way.

City Hall • 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place, Room 244 • San Francisco, California 94102-4689 • (415) 554-6516 Fax (415) 554-6546 • TDD/TTY (415) 554-5227 • E-mail: [email protected] This report discusses:

1. Strategies the City of San Francisco is considering to improve pedestrian safety in District 7; 2. Pedestrian safety projects and strategies for District 7 that are currently in progress; 3. Potential pedestrian safety projects in District 7 under consideration for the near future; 4. A summary of public comments from the March 2013 hearing and constituent correspondence; and 5. An action plan of how the City can move forward with improvements.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all the residents that provided input for this report and to all the city agencies who continue to work tirelessly to improve the safety of pedestrians in San Francisco. I would also like to give special thanks to our City Controller, Ben Rosenfield and his staff for creating this report. Lastly, I want to acknowledge my legislative staff that has helped me make a difference for our District 7 residents, as well as the rest of the City of San Francisco.

As District 7 Supervisor, I recognize that safe streets are not just a public safety issue, but also a quality of life issue. If we want thriving neighborhoods and healthy communities, then our students, seniors, families, dogwalkers and all District 7 residents must be protected. The spike in recent pedestrian fatalities is unacceptable. That is why my office has made pedestrian safety a top priority.

Executive Summary

At the request of Supervisor Yee, and to support on-going efforts for pedestrian improvements in San Francisco District 7, this report documents planned pedestrian safety projects and geographic information on pedestrian injuries in District 7. This memo is intended to improve City transparency efforts related to pedestrian safety and to guide pedestrian safety improvements in District 7.

The Controller’s Office supports San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) recommendations for a District 7 community meeting that will help identify the District’s concerns and assist in setting priorities for pedestrian safety initiatives.

Key Findings A. City Departments are continually monitoring pedestrian-vehicle collision data to identify intersections and corridors of high priority for improvements to encourage data-driven decision-making. B. City Departments are continually addressing pedestrian safety concerns in District 7 through a variety of capital improvements. C. The City has on-going methods to receive citizen concerns about pedestrian issues, especially through SF 311.

Recommendations A. Identify opportunities for the best use of District 7 add-back funds in conjunction with SFMTA. Community engagement opportunities will better identify and address District 7 pedestrian safety concerns and assist in setting priorities for pedestrian safety initiatives. B. Monitor and support citywide pedestrian capital safety planning and policies through the WalkFirst Investment Strategy, SFPD enforcement, and pedestrian education campaigns. C. Continue to engage citizens in conversation and educate the public regarding pedestrian safety strategies, including engineering, education and enforcement.

Goodlett Place • Room 316 • San Francisco CA 94102-4694 Controller's Office District 7 Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project Report Page 2 Introduction Pedestrians represent some of the most vulnerable street users in San Francisco. Supervisorial District 7, with streets such as 19th Avenue, Ocean Avenue Figure 1: Word Cloud: What Are We Hearing From and Sloat accounts for approximately District 7 Residents about Pedestrian Safety? 5% of the city’s pedestrian injuries and fatalities annually, and approximately 7% of the City’s severe and fatal injuries annually. In San Francisco, half of traffic collision fatalities are pedestrians. Vulnerable users, such as seniors and children, are at higher risk for severe injuries or fatalities if they are involved in a collision with a motor vehicle; from 2004-2008, about 42 percent of pedestrian fatalities were senior citizens. In 2008, an estimated $15 million was spent on treating victims of pedestrian-related injuries at San Francisco General Hospital. These high emotional and economic costs demand attention from decision-makers and public servants to ensure that San Francisco is a thriving place to live and work.

With guidance from the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors, in conjunction with advocates and city stakeholders, City departments and agencies have led planning and policy efforts to improve pedestrian safety in San Francisco’s many neighborhoods and communities. Most recently, the Pedestrian Strategy, released in April 2013, set benchmarks for capital investments needed to lower pedestrian injuries and fatalities citywide. The goals and metrics set in the Pedestrian Strategy identify the key corridors in District 7 that should have targeted treatments in order to achieve citywide goals.

The purpose of this report is to summarize pedestrian safety initiatives in the City, review work that has been completed to date, articulate planned projects, and identify recommendations for next steps. The main focus of the report is on capital project engineering efforts; however, education and enforcement are also important parts of pedestrian safety. This report includes a timeline of recent pedestrian safety efforts, Source: SF 311 Calls, 2008-2013 planned and completed pedestrian improvement projects in District 7, pedestrian injury data and maps, and recommendations for future improvements, as well as tables with public feedback from 311 data and the April 4th hearing on pedestrian safety issues in District 7. 415-554-7500 City Hall • 1 Dr. Carlton B.

Methodology

Data

The Controller’s Office compiled data from the following sources: • San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) extracted data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS); this data is gathered from a police-attended collision scene. • San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) provided data on completed SFMTA-led pedestrian improvement projects since 2005 and planned/active projects in District 7. • Department of Public Works (DPW) provided datasets on DPW-led completed and active pedestrian improvement projects in District 7. • San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) provided data on projects funded under their authority, including active and completed pedestrian safety and signal projects. • April 4th District 7 Pedestrian Safety Hearing transcript provided public comments and concerns regarding pedestrian safety issues in District 7, along with associated e-mails to Supervisor Yee on the topic for those unable to attend. • SF 311 compiled a dataset for requests sent to them regarding pedestrian safety, in District 7, received from July 2008 to August 2013.

Stakeholders

Many City agencies play an important role in keeping pedestrians safe and encouraging walking for everyday transportation. The Controller compiled or used data from the following departments and agencies to develop this report; • SFMTA: SFMTA is the citywide lead in designing and implementing traffic calming measures and pedestrian programming to improve pedestrian safety and comfort throughout the City. SFMTA enforces, maintains, and installs pedestrian safety improvements on the streets and sidewalks such as fixing faded curbs and pavement markings, installing traffic calming measures and temporary signs, and removing vehicles blocking sidewalks and curb ramps. • SFDPH: SFDPH researches best practices for pedestrian safety; co-chairs the Pedestrian Safety Task Force; conducts assessments of San Francisco policies, plans, and projects that impact pedestrians; collects, improves, and analyzes data regarding pedestrian injuries; and participates in on-going planning work that targets and prioritizes pedestrian investment to areas with the greatest opportunity for walking and the highest number of pedestrian injuries. • DPW: DPW manages and maintains the public right of ways. DPW maintains approximately 878 miles of streets, which consist of 12,855 blocks and 7,200 intersections. DPW repairs, repaves, and improves streets and sidewalks to modernize street designs and incorporate the needs of pedestrians by installing countdown signals, bulb-outs, street lighting and other improvements. • San Francisco Police Department (SFPD): SFPD enforces the traffic laws to prevent pedestrian injuries. SFPD is revamping their education and enforcement efforts aimed at drivers and pedestrians and using data to target the most common causes of pedestrian related incidents. • San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA): SFCTA administers and monitors key local funding sources that fund new pedestrian capital programming such as Prop K sales tax revenue, Transportation Fund for Clean Air grants and Prop AA Vehicle Registration Fees.

Recommendations

1. Identify opportunities for best use of District 7 add-back funds in conjunction with SFMTA, such as community engagement and educational opportunities that will foster a better understanding of District 7 concerns and assist in setting priorities for pedestrian safety initiatives, as well as provide the public with pedestrian safety resources.

District 7 Proposed Improvements: Four categories of improvements are recommended for consideration that would improve walking experiences in District 7. Costs are estimates only and intended to assist in planning and public outreach efforts; actual costs will depend on site location and other factors.

The Controller recommends consideration of these four options:

A. Crosswalk Improvements

SFMTA has identified three to five priority locations for recommended new crosswalk improvements. These are at locations that are uncontrolled that could be upgraded with continental crosswalk striping and yield signs. Crosswalk improvements for uncontrolled crossings range in cost from $3,500 to $10,000. For some locations, no funding has been identified for these improvements; for others, funding has not been identified until at least 2015. Additionally, SFMTA would target and improve faded crosswalks in District 7 with new paint to improve visibility and space definition.

B. Speed Feedback Signs and Crossing Time Improvements

SFMTA would look into identifying potential crossing locations for the installation of speed feedback signage and increased crosswalk time. Installation of a speed feedback sign costs approximately $4,000 and increasing crosswalk time costs approximately $5,000 (typically performed when traffic signals are upgraded).

C. Community Parklet

Parklets improve the pedestrian walking environment and neighborhood livability. The Planning Department estimates that an average parklet costs approximately $23,000, including permitting fees and installation. In certain locations, these have been community fundraised and an opportunity for businesses and residents to collaborate.

D. Education and Enforcement

Additional opportunities to extend police enforcement activities or on-going pedestrian safety education campaigns may be pursued in conjunction with the SFPD and/or SFDPH. Costs would be dependent on scope of work and conversations with these departments.

Although this report focused mainly on capital project engineering efforts, education and enforcement are key components of pedestrian safety improvements.

Recommendations, continued

2. Continue to monitor and support citywide pedestrian capital safety planning and policies, such as through the WalkFirst Investment Strategy, SFPD enforcement improvements and SFDPH pedestrian education campaigns.

The WalkFirst Investment Strategy is a coordinated effort of the City Controller’s Office, SFMTA, SFDPH, and Planning Department. The purpose of the project is to create a prioritized capital improvement list to meet the benchmarks outlined in the Pedestrian Strategy that guides projects in the pedestrian realm, using data and stakeholder engagement to prioritize projects by need.

As a key deliverable of the WalkFirst Investment Strategy, by February 2014 SFMTA will have a completed, prioritized list of pedestrian safety projects along High Priority Corridors and Intersections, including those in District 7. As part of this Strategy, the Controller’s Office is surveying projects that are planned, but not yet built along High Priority Corridors and Intersections, these reports will provide the Supervisors and community members a better understanding of the breadth of work to be completed that will support a safer pedestrian experience in District 7 and Citywide. The Controller’s Office recommends that the WalkFirst Investment team work with Supervisors and community members in shaping and developing the prioritized project list.

Additionally, the multi-agency Pedestrian Task Force Steering Committee monitors efforts and initiatives being pursued in SFPD enforcement and SFDPH campaigns both Citywide and efforts targeted in District 7.

3. Engage citizens in conversation regarding pedestrian safety efforts as opportunities arise.

The Controller’s Office supports SFMTA efforts to use District 7 dollars to foster public outreach in a community meeting format to discuss specific areas of concern and suggestions for where to spend the funding to improve pedestrian safety in District 7, and recommends identifying a useful, needed project or program that will support neighborhood concerns regarding pedestrian safety. The Controller supports efforts that are best able to engage citizens in the decision-making process.

Beyond singular efforts tied to funding, the Controller’s Office encourages continued public participation in existing City advisory groups, such as the Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC). The monthly PSAC meetings are a forum for discussing current pedestrian safety issues and improvements. PSAC is the official public representative to the Board of Supervisors on pedestrian issues; it reviews city plans and projects and researches potential improvements to the pedestrian environment. The public is encouraged to attend.
