How can neighbors demand safety improvements to Parnassus/Cole Valley?
1. Submit a 311 ticket (https://www.sf.gov/topics/311-online-services) - scroll to the ‘Transportation signs, signals, and markings’ section. This is the only official way to alert SFMTA to road safety issues.
2. Record and share your 311 reference number. Email a description of the 311 report you submitted and the reference number to Ho, Calvin <calvin.ho@sfgov.org> and serenaunger@gmail.com (Serena is a CVIA member that is volunteering to track requests). This will give the community visibility on the scale and breadth of safety issues raised. Multiple people submitting the same/similar reports sends a message that the safety concern is serious and requires urgent attention.
3. Attend the UCSF Parnassus Heights Construction Update meeting. In a recent SF Standard article, "a UCSF spokesperson said that between 50 and 220 trucks drive to the construction sites per day..." We need UCSF to be actively investing in road safety. When: Wednesday, November 6th from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Where: UCSF Parnassus Heights Campus, Faculty Alumni House, 745 Parnassus Ave; or virtually by Zoom.
4. Sign up for the newly created Cole Valley Pedestrian Safety Google Group to communicate and organize street safety concerns: cole-valley-pedestrian-safety@googlegroups.com
