6th and Stevenson

Dear Supervisor Dorsey, I am writing to you regarding urgent safety concerns at the intersection of 6th and Stevenson Streets in District 6. City records document 95 injury collisions within 150 meters of this intersection in the last five years, with one fatality. This count covers a 150-meter radius, while the Danger Index grade is computed over a tighter 80-meter core, so the two figures are measured over different areas and a reader should not expect them to reconcile. Additionally, 638 street-condition 311 reports, counting street defects, sidewalk and curb, signs, streetlights, and blocked sidewalks only, were filed at this location in the last three years. This intersection shows more reported harm than 99 percent of San Francisco intersections, earning it a grade F on the Danger Index. No exposure normalization: the index ranks reported harm, not risk per crossing. To address these documented issues, I respectfully request your support in funding critical safety improvements. Specifically, I urge you to advocate for Continental crosswalks, corner daylighting, and a leading pedestrian interval. These upgrades are estimated to cost $250,000 to $350,000, order of magnitude, and could be funded through the Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Thank you for your attention to this vital matter. Sincerely, A resident of District 6
