Changes sought at Tenderloin intersection after latest pedestrian fatality

Residents of San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood and pedestrian advocates held a vigil this week to call for safety enhancements at the site of the city’s latest fatal vehicle collision, in which a man died after being struck by a bus.

The 65-year-old victim, Mark Swink of San Francisco, died after a Golden Gate Transit bus struck him as he was crossing at Hyde Street and Golden Gate Avenue on Saturday evening. It was the city’s 10th fatal collision involving a bicyclist or pedestrian, and the sixth in just over a month, according to Walk San Francisco.
