Malden and Tehama

Dear Supervisor Matt Dorsey, City records document 37 injury collisions within 150 meters of Malden and Tehama in the last five years, covering a 150 metre radius while the Danger Index grade is computed over a tighter 80 metre 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 97 percent of San Francisco intersections, which is grade F on the Danger Index. As a necessary caveat, there is no exposure normalization: the index ranks reported harm, not risk per crossing. The city has recorded 73 street-condition 311 reports at this location in the last three years, counting street defects, sidewalk and curb, signs, streetlights and blocked sidewalks only. Furthermore, city records show 4 street-condition 311 reports in 12 months and 1 pedestrian crossing collision in 5 years relating to faded or sub-standard crosswalk markings, although the visual audit did not find it in the photograph. Please help fund Continental crosswalks, corner daylighting, and a leading pedestrian interval through the Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), estimated at an order of magnitude of $250,000 to $350,000. Sincerely, A resident of District 6
