🛑 Attend July 19: Demand Safety at Sunset Dunes (Judah entrance, 11am–Noon) 🔗 RSVP here
In 2003, San Francisco adopted the Precautionary Principle into its Environmental Code:
“If something might cause harm, and if that harm can be prevented, then the City must take protective action—even without full data.”
Combine that with Vision Zero, the City’s policy to eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries.
Now ask yourself:
Why isn’t Sunset Dunes held to these same standards?
There’s an open lawsuit over the closure
There’s already been a pedestrian injury
And yet the City found money for hammocks, a piano, and an ocean-facing phone booth—but not for clear signs or safety basics on every block
📣 Attend the July 19 Community Engagement Meeting
🗓️ Saturday, July 19
🕚 11am–Noon
📍 Judah entrance, Sunset Dunes

🚫 Sunset Dunes is missing the basics:
🚧 Physical separation between fast and slow users
🚶♀️ ADA-accessible crossings and raised walkways every block
🚲 Bike speed limits, visual cues, and enforcement
📍 Clear signage at every entrance and every 200 feet
🛑 Flashing lights or signalized crosswalks where pedestrians must cross
📊 Community oversight and a public dashboard with safety data
💡 Emergency access, call boxes, lighting, and resting areas
💰 Quick-build safety measures that don’t waste taxpayer funds if the highway reopens
That’s what the Precautionary Principle + Vision Zero require.
That’s what this park could—and should—look like.
Instead, we got stenciled snails.
