Plastic pillars have been installed at a San Francisco intersection where a 2-year-old girl was recently killed after being struck by a driver.

Members of the “Safe Street Rebel” group who placed the pillars at the intersection of 4th and Channel streets hope it will slow drivers down while making a right turn.

The group is a collective of neighbors and traffic safety activists across San Francisco who have put up unsanctioned installations often in response to a fatal pedestrian collision.

Sergio Quintana takes a closer look at the installations and why people who live and work in the neighborhood had mixed reactions to pillars.

On Saturday, the community had the opportunity to weigh in on Denver’s plans for Burnham Yard, the area identified as the preferred site for a new Broncos’ stadium. The city is planning to build a new stadium and a mixed-use district in the area.

“We’re keeping the Broncos in Denver, and we’re gonna have a brand new stadium that maybe we can have new concerts because it will be able to have a dome, maybe one day house the Super Bowl. Those are exciting things,” said Councilwoman Flor Alvidrez.

City council members say the project is not only about the stadium, but also the future of Denver’s industrial corridor. The Burnham Yard Small Area Plan hopes to include recommendations for affordable housing, public infrastructure, parks, open space and other considerations.

La Alma Neighborhood Association member Helen Tiron said, “I think the move to redevelop that railroad system and that 160 acres, I see that as positive. But not to enter our community. Not to impose themselves on us.”

City leaders are asking the public for input as they create designs for the district. They acknowledged that some people in the area are concerned about noise, the lengthy construction project and the preservation of historic land.

Hundreds of community members from La Alma-Lincoln Park, Baker and other neighborhoods have shared their ideas for the potential redevelopment of the site. In the first round of surveys, residents said their priorities are parks and open space, protecting current residents and businesses, and honoring the neighborhood’s history.

“Overall, I think any time we talk about returning land and river corridor back to its natural state, it always comes with a conversation about our American Indian history and community,” said Councilwoman Jamie Torres. “We have very real Colorado history that took place in this neighborhood that we want to make sure gets acknowledged.”

For those who missed the meeting and still want to provide input, there’s an online survey available on the City of Denver’s website. 

SEATTLE — A temporary construction pause during the 2026 World Cup will be implemented by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT).

SDOT said the hiatus will run from June 8 at midnight until July 7 at midnight and will apply to “most work” on streets, sidewalks, and alleys.

“By reducing construction activity, we aim to keep traffic flowing and ensure our streets, sidewalks, and public spaces remain open and accessible while Seattle hosts the world,” SDOT said in a release. “Public space managed by the Seattle Public Library and Seattle Parks and Recreation is not included in the construction pause.”

SDOT said with hundreds of thousands of tourists visiting Seattle for the soccer matches, the pause will help reduce road congestion, clear sidewalks and streets for pedestrians and bicyclists, and allow neighborhoods to “look their best for the festivities.”

The planned pause will conclude a week earlier than initially scheduled to help projects stay on schedule.

WSDOT separately announced in November a pause for the “Revive I-5” project that has shut down part of the Ship Canal Bridge on the major artery through Seattle.
