AB 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
Casey supported: Repeal AB-413 Twenty Foot Parking Loss at every Intersection20’ seems excessive for every SF intersection. In SF, it may make more sense to have 20’ for major intersections and 2 - 4’ for other intersections. It was difficult to find parking in residential neighborhoods before this law passed. This law will make parking worse, while applying a one size fits all approach that doesn’t make sense in a densely populated city.
Tessa supported: Repeal AB-413 Twenty Foot Parking Loss at every IntersectionI agree that pedestrian safety is important but this puts an undue burden on those with disabilities and mobility issues who already have VERY limited of options to park near their residence.
Juliann supported: Repeal AB-413 Twenty Foot Parking Loss at every IntersectionAs much as graduating at Oracle Park sounds cool, it’s misty, cold, and windy! All that for several hours and not have my name called was a slap in the face. Happy I graduated, just not happy with the process. Plus if I’m paying so much for a semester with budget cuts and limited classes, I feel like I should at least have a comfortable and acknowledged experience.
Nerissa supported: Split SFSU Commencement for Full Student RecognitionI am a teacher at Galileo and have been in the district since 2012, under 6 principals. Dr. Rodgers has been the most responsive to staff, student, and parent concerns. She exemplifies what we call a “warm demander”.
Marloes supported: [Galileo HS] Save Dr. Rodgers!My personal story
On my first day of my first year of teaching in SFUSD in Francisco Middle school, a student threatened to put a grill mark on my face due to me asking him to put his phone away. My administrator at the time did nothing.
Soon after, I had two students bringing a knife to school and trading weapons in front of me. I reported it to the dean, the students only got the knife taken away. There were no consequences.
Later, me and my former colleagues in Francisco have received countless death threats from the same student and no consequences were enforced. The student was later allowed to graduate.
This student and other students have continued to curse at me, act defiantly, disregard the rules. I had to cater and bend over backwards to ensure this student is engaged even the slightest. This was at the cost of neglecting the students who wanted to learn as I was too focused trying to fix the negatives.
I have left the school with 4 new health problems: Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Heart palpitations (i was ordered to wear a heart monitor), and vision issues. All according to my doctor, due to stress.
Soon after, I moved to Aptos Middle School. There, I did not receive death threats but I did break up many fights for the first half of the school year. There were also a ton of students wandering the hallways.
As teachers, when kids show up with attendance issues, we are expected to catch them up. However, with excessive truancy, it means we must put much more effort into "remedying" the natural consequences of such behavior.
AT THE COST OF YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION.
We finally have a principal who understands that allowing a few students to spoil the academic opportunity for the rest of the class is unacceptable. She has worked really hard to make the school a place where we can FOCUS on teaching the students. I have never felt more like teacher and less of a babysitter. I feel supported by Dr. Rodgers. For the first time, I feel like I can focus on the students who are here to learn because I know the administration has my back in dealing with the behavioral problems.
That has been met with pushback from our teenagers.
I don't blame the teenagers, because statistically teenagers are still immature and cannot see the long-term bigger picture. As Parents, I implore you to do the right thing for our school and support Dr. Rodgers by signing this petition AND showing up to the Board of Education meeting on March 25th 5pm (555 Franklin Street) on the first floor, Irving G. Breyer Board Meeting Room.
I take all responsibility for the incoming questions and political pushback.
Edmund supported: [Galileo HS] Save Dr. Rodgers!I have been a paraeducator a Galileo high School since 2015. In her short time at Galileo Dr Rogers has brought warmth structure order and above all confidence to all. Please do not disrupt this. Dr Rodgers has brought vitality and commitment to all aspects of her work. It is infectious. I have never felt so confident in what I can bring as an educator to our students.
Desiree supported: [Galileo HS] Save Dr. Rodgers!Making Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
Ryan supported: Make Election Day a Federal Holiday in the U.S.You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
