Here in SF, @SafeStreetRebel installed a mini road diet at the 4th St/Channel intersection in Mission Bay where a driver killed a 2-year-old last month.

They also tallied all the City's proposed changes in response to 138 fatalities in the past 5 years, and it's revealing. 33% of fatal crashes led to NO proposed changes. 71% either proposed no change, repainting existing road markings, or just doing changes already required by state law.

Everyone has a take on the Engardio recall in SF... here's mine. The recall doesn't mean mode shift and car-free spaces are unpopular, but it does mean urbanists should rethink being in coalition with moderates/conservatives.

Engardio recall shows weakness of SF's moderate-urbanist coalition

We can do better

@bulletsweetp @SafeStreetRebel The three years I lived in San Francisco, taking the N Judah to Java Beach and then sitting on the sand trying to tell myself to be still and calm and listen to Mama Ocean, I never once felt love for the Grand Highway.

And frankly, I never saw a lot of traffic on it either (1997-2000), so it looks like it's much more appreciated now by cyclists, skaters, and other park-goers.

Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back.

The recall shows a few things:
-Reactionary politics is inherently unsustainable; the recall-loving, pro-car base that engardio relied on to win in '22 immediately turned on him the minute he did his only visionary act
-Initial data indicates the recall—despite getting some prog engagement—was driven by conservative voters who refuse to acknowledge we live in a city and deny our climate emergency
-More D4 voters voted yes on prop K than yes on recall. This vote was not a referendum on the park
