Adding crosswalk stripes at Ortega St and 34th Ave in SF
Cars kept speeding dangerously down Ortega St at 34th Ave in the Sunset District in SF. I saw a few accidents. I emailed a bunch of city agencies about installing stop signs, crosswalks, or speed bumps to slow down traffic. My first contact with SFMTA was in Sept 2017.
I finally started taking photos of the accidents and sending them to the agencies and our reps. I began calling/emailing SFMTA again and Gordon Mar’s Office. It took a lot of persistence but it paid off.
The crosswalk was finally installed in May 2019. Gordon Mar’s Office referenced my effort in a June 2019 Newsletter (interestingly enough doesn’t cite me). Some of the contact evidence is referenced below.
