7th and Odd Fellows

Dear Supervisor Dorsey, I am writing to you as a concerned resident of District 6 regarding the intersection of 7th and Odd Fellows. This location presents significant safety challenges that require urgent attention. City records document 85 injury collisions within 150 meters of this intersection in the last five years. 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, 1129 street-condition 311 reports, covering street defects, sidewalk and curb issues, signs, streetlights, and blocked sidewalks, have been filed at this location in the last three years. The intersection's reported harm ranks worse than 99 percent of San Francisco intersections, earning it an F grade on the Danger Index. No exposure normalization: the index ranks reported harm, not risk per crossing. To improve safety, I urge you to support 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 secured through the Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. Sincerely, A resident of District 6
