317 pairs of ‘ghost shoes’ outside City Hall memorializes decade of SF traffic fatalities

Someone is killed in a vehicle collision in San Francisco on average about once every 12 days. On Sunday, many of those victims were remembered with a temporary memorial made of 317 pairs of white painted “ghost shoes” on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.

Each shoe pair carried the name of someone killed in traffic on the city’s streets since 2014, when San Francisco committed to Vision Zero, a strategy to eliminate traffic deaths and injuries.
