"First of all, the paint job is fun,"
"They try to make it more welcoming, more friendly - you get off and you are like wow, this is some place I want to visit,"
"What about the safety aspect? Do you think that was accomplished?"
"So what I'm going to say is this it seems like because you can't drive through here now less pedestrians are worried about cross traffic."
San Francisco implemented visible pedestrian-safety measures at West Portal Avenue and Ulloa Street after a speeding driver killed a family of four. Changes include colorful pavement, large planters, hardened center lines, and crossing flashing beacons. Some residents report feeling safer and welcome by the aesthetic improvements. Other residents note the implemented changes would not have prevented the crash on Wawona Street and prefer stop signs or speed bumps where the collision occurred. A local street safety committee guided the measures, and officials cite enhanced pedestrian visibility and reduced cross-traffic concerns at the redesigned intersection.
