Divisadero and Geary

Dear Supervisor Mahmood, I am writing to you as a resident of District 5 regarding the critical safety issues at the intersection of Divisadero and Geary. The city has recorded 46 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 the two figures are measured over different areas and a reader should not expect them to reconcile. 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. Additionally, 107 street-condition 311 reports, including street defects, sidewalk and curb issues, signs, streetlights, and blocked sidewalks, have been filed at this location in the last three years. I respectfully request your support in funding Continental crosswalks, corner daylighting, and a leading pedestrian interval at this intersection. An estimated $250,000 to $350,000 could be secured through the Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for these vital improvements. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Sincerely, A resident of District 5
