We still don't know the cause of the fatal accident that killed 83-year-old Marina Vafiadis Tuesday night.
What we do know is that the traffic signals at almost all the intersections on the 19th Avenue/Park Presidio/CA State Highway 1 corridor would be more appropriate in Mayberry R.F.D. than a well-travelled route to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Changes are coming, slowly but surely.
Read some lively comments and decide what's the cause of the inordinate delay.
Too much community input? Can there be such a thing? State vs. local conflict? Inertia?
Who will be the next fatality on this stretch of road this year?
Tick tock.

at the northwest corner of the intersection
Uh, I think that's the northeast corner.

... cause nothing says "this city is walkable" quite like our gently sloping hills or our friendly shady lanes (e.g. 19th Avenue, Van Ness or Lombard heading out to the bridge).
Is, is that a purple glove?
I think we all know what caused this.
Note to OrangeDrink: very unfunny, like I even need to say it. Condolences to the family.
i live on 14th ave and there was another accident at Clement and Park Presidio tonight. There is at least one accident a week at that intersection. The Examiner said that the Cal Trans project to put in countdown lights on 19th Ave and Park Presidio has been delayed because the bids came in too high. This is a tremendously dangerous road -- basically a 6 lane highway with pedestrians. Something needs to be done before someone else dies
If there's anything you can do to avoid crossing 19th Ave. on foot...do it.
The light cycles are too quick for a lot of pedestrians (at least for old folks or those with mobility issues), it's loaded with out-of-town drivers who don't know how to cope with peds, and its high traffic is relentless.
