5th and Cyril Magnin

Dear Supervisor Dorsey, I am writing to you as a concerned resident of District 6 regarding the intersection of 5th and Cyril Magnin. City records show 75 injury collisions within 150 meters of 5th and Cyril Magnin in the last five years, including one fatality. This figure covers a 150-meter radius, while the Danger Index grade is computed over a tighter 80-meter core, so these two figures are measured over different areas and should not be expected to reconcile. Additionally, 356 street-condition 311 reports, counting street defects, sidewalk and curb, signs, streetlights, and blocked sidewalks, have been filed at this location in the last three years. This intersection shows more reported harm than 99 percent of San Francisco intersections, earning a Grade F on the Danger Index. No exposure normalization: the index ranks reported harm, not risk per crossing. I urge you to advocate for funding Continental crosswalks, corner daylighting, and a leading pedestrian interval at 5th and Cyril Magnin. An estimated $250,000 to $350,000, order of magnitude, could be secured through the Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Addressing these issues would significantly improve safety for all users. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. Sincerely, A resident of District 6
