This morning a crowd of over 100 protested against the dangerous intersection at Octavia and Market Street. The injured cyclist is still hospitalized after being struck by a large pickup truck making an illegal right hand turn Monday morning. Supervisors Bevan Dufty, Chris Daly, and Ross Mirkarimi were all on hand to speak with those attending. Not one vehicle made the illegal right turn the event this morning between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM due to cyclists and allies blocking any cars from making a right turn onto the onramp. This is in sharp contrast to the 17 vehicles that SFist documented making the illegal turn the day before in the same timeframe.

This issue appears to now be on the front burner among all the stakeholders involved. We all wish the injured cyclist a complete and speedy recovery.

A lot more shots after the jump.
