“Vision Zero” is a perfect example of SF gov incompetence: It has noncontroversial, well-specified goals (lower traffic deaths) There are well-understood ways to meet those goals (police, bollards, speed bumps) SF refuses to do SF spends a ton ($25M/yr) anyways Deaths go up

Very on-brand San Francisco policy-making and enforcement: 9 streets lowered speed limits 5 of those drivers just ignored 4 of those drivers sped up Bravo x.com/sfchronicle/st…

It’s also impossible: expecting zero fatalities in a dense urban environment is not a realistic goal. In past years, some of the deaths were entirely self-inflicted. I also think focusing entirely on deaths doesn’t show the full picture - they need to look at injuries as well.

Vision Zero has good intentions, but is based primarily on ideology. It will never make a dent unless it is completely overhauled.

LA's Vision Zero... Despite an abundance of bike lanes (60+ miles in 2020) & $50.6M spent in '22-'23, fatalities jumped from 245 in 2015 to 302 in 2024. It seems every mile of new bike lane brings more death. That money could have saved lives through treatment & recovery 😔

Vision Zero always seemed like a trojan horse for the real intent: punish car drivers. Removing lanes on main thorough fares like Folsom just resulted in crazy traffic and desperate drivers (not safe!)
