Bad car crash at the start of Car-Free JFK Promenade. Thankfully, no one outside the car appears to have been injured, but this could have easily been another roadway fatality (or multiple).
The City should move the round concrete bollards to the other side of the crosswalk now.
Not long after, a group of preschool children crossed through that same crosswalk — as countless school children do multiple times a day — and continued to the dangerous (and busy!) Kezar Drive crosswalk.
In addition to moving the bollards, the City should redesign Kezar Drive.
The crosswalk for Kezar Drive just south of Car-Free JFK Promenade needs numerous improvements immediately:
1️⃣ Lengthen the crossing time to 45 or 60 seconds
2️⃣ Install new, 20–30 feet wide curb ramps
3️⃣ Install bollards along the curb to protect people from arrant cars / trucks
