San Francisco mayor candidates want to improve street safety
In her questionnaire for The Standard, Breed said she has advocated for speed cameras across the city and pushed for lowering speed limits. She has also advocated for pedestrian- and bike-friendly spaces, including devoted bike lanes, slow streets, and car-free roads like JFK Promenade.
The city’s infrastructure was “redesigned in the middle part of the last century to prioritize cars at the expense of pedestrians and bicyclists,” Breed wrote, and modernizing it will “take time” and “political will.”
“All of this is to say that I care deeply about street safety, and have a record to show for it,” she added. “But we have so much more work to do, and this will continue to be a priority for my administration.”
