Twelve-thirty a.m. Wednesday, another pedestrian was killed by a driver in San Francisco's Excelsior District, marking the tenth death this year. The driver fled the scene. Mission Street at Santa Rosa is part of the city's high-injury network, which accounts for a significant percentage of traffic crashes. Since 2015, six traffic collisions at this intersection have injured pedestrians. Construction for safety improvements, including pedestrian bulb-outs, is underway, emphasizing the need for urgent redesign to enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
"Mission Street at Santa Rosa is on the city's 2022 'high-injury network' map: the 12% of streets where 68% of traffic crashes occur. There have been six other traffic collisions resulting in injuries at the intersection of Mission and Santa Rosa since the beginning of 2015."
"Clearly, it's been known for many years that this is a dangerous street in need of a redesign, as mentioned by Walk SF. There need to be urgency when dangerous conditions threaten pedestrians and cyclists."
