My son is a freshman at UD and the tragic accidents that have occurred along Main Street just this school year are very concerning. There needs to be more safety measures along this road.
Alyse supported: Ensuring Pedestrian Safety for University of Delaware Students in the Wake of TragedyAs an individual who routinely works with community partners to collaborate and provide solutions I believe this is an opportunity for the City and the University to come together to address the safety and security of residents and students. My heart goes out to the family of the student and those injured. As the parent of a student, I pray for their safety every day and pray that measures wi be taken to make this area safer.
Kahra supported: Ensuring Pedestrian Safety for University of Delaware Students in the Wake of TragedyI was struck by a car also while riding my bicycle through the same intersection as Daniel Bacsik of W. to E. DE Ave. and S. College Ave. in 2014 as a U. Delaware student and suffered injuries of a nasal fracture, broken teeth, and facial lacerations as well as a concussion. I am concerned the city of Newark that had records of my accident in the city police report, my city court appearance, etc. and perhaps to some extent the university may have been negligent in not considering the risks posed by the intersection to bicyclists evidenced by my accident and ensuring it was safe given nearly a decade to do so. Therefore the city should put more effort into preventing such tragedies by improving safety especially at locations where accidents have occurred in the past. I can describe more if you would like to contact me stefan.bartell@gmail.com
Stefan supported: Ensuring Pedestrian Safety for University of Delaware Students in the Wake of TragedyI’m a freshman at UD and with three years left here and already hearing of two situations this school year alone, I want UD to be safer for all of us. This being a heavily pedestrian area surrounded by many roads, there should be more protection.
Brianna supported: Ensuring Pedestrian Safety for University of Delaware Students in the Wake of TragedySafety is a big concern for all, especially children on bikes, mothers with strollers, and the slow walking pace of the elderly.
Park Ave is hilly in some areas and has blind curves which is an issue when cars are trying to exit a side street onto Park Ave. This has caused accidents in the past.
alicia supported: Lower the Speed Limit on Park Avenue for Pedestrian SafetyMyself and members of my family frequent Bryan Park at least 2 days per week. It is a fabulous park where so many different activities take place. There are already plenty of opportunities to use the park walking, running, or bicycling. Please keep the Park great for the wildlife and visitors who appreciate it being there. Please do not add more pavement. Thank you.
Barb supported: Change the RouteAB 413 is a one-size-fits-all law that does not consider its major consequences in SF and other urban areas. A cost-benefit analysis should be performed that considers the incremental increase public safety with daylighting low-, medium-, and high-risk intersections compared to its negative impacts on residents, businesses, and tourists from the proportional loss of parking spaces. Other options, such as daylighting high-risk or high/medium-risk intersections only, should be considered. This will allow the State to achieve similar pedestrian safety objectives without widespread loss of parking, especially in cities where parking is already a challenge.
Closest to our house, we will lose 4 parking spaces, which may slightly increase visibility around a quiet intersection. However, noticeably fewer parking spots to share will impact the daily lives of our family and our neighbors.
We choose to raise our family in SF, which means that we are often corralling kids and schlepping groceries, backpacks, etc., to and from our car. We do not have the luxury of a garage, so street parking is our only option. Losing 4 parking spots on our corner will routinely result in more time looking for parking and parking much farther from our house. We have elderly neighbors for whom the increased distance is more than just frustration and inconvenience.
We don’t need anything else to drive people out of San Francisco. Daylighted targeted intersections would be a much better compromise to both improve pedestrian safety in highest risk intersections and reduce negative impacts to people and businesses.
Hedy supported: Repeal AB-413 Twenty Foot Parking Loss at every IntersectionWe need our parking space. I am handicap and need to go to the doctors and to get medicine. Taking public transportation is extremely difficult for mobility. Plus, do r feel safe anymore. Sf is a mess. Thanks
Ana supported: Repeal AB-413 Twenty Foot Parking Loss at every IntersectionThe struggle to find parking steals hours out of my week as things stand now. Removing more spots will only do more harm. Leading to more and more people leaving the city. Please repeal
