Almost a year ago to the day, we reported on one of the many pedestrian deaths on 19th Avenue, and made mention of Leland Yee's proposal to make 19th Avenue a double-fine zone in order to decrease speeds (and presumably reduce accidents) along that dangerous stretch of road. Unfortunately, that bill never made it to the Senate Floor for a vote last year, but is up again today.
No news yet on if the bill has been passed, and also no word if the Governator will pass it.
While we applaud any effort to keep folks from driving like a**holes on 19th or anywhere else for that matter), we wonder how much of a deterrent this bill will be for careless or reckless drivers.
What do you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
