Mayor Lurie launches citywide street safety plan to protect SF pedestrians and cyclists

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has launched a sweeping new effort to make the city’s streets safer, signing an executive directive that puts his office in charge of coordinating traffic safety work across city government.

According to the Mayor’s office, the Street Safety executive directive brings together transportation, public safety and public health agencies under a single, mayor-led strategy aimed at reducing traffic injuries and deaths. The plan creates new accountability measures and a formal working group to coordinate how streets are designed, enforced and managed.
