12th and Moraga

Dear Supervisor Melgar, I am writing to you as a concerned resident of District 7 regarding safety at the intersection of 12th and Moraga. City records show one injury collision within 150 meters of this intersection in the last five years. It is important to note this 150-meter radius differs from the 80-meter core used for the Danger Index, so these figures are not directly comparable. This location has generated 33 street-condition 311 reports in the last three years, covering street defects, sidewalks, curbs, signs, streetlights, and blocked sidewalks. The intersection of 12th and Moraga shows more reported harm than 18 percent of San Francisco intersections, earning it a Grade A on the Danger Index. This index ranks reported harm, not risk per crossing, as it lacks exposure normalization. To improve safety, I respectfully request your support in securing funding for Continental crosswalks, corner daylighting, and a leading pedestrian interval at this intersection. An estimated $250,000 to $350,000, order of magnitude, could be obtained through the Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, A resident of District 7
