Grants to this Grantee
for development of pedestrian safety policies
Walk SF promotes walking as a safe and sustainable form of transportation, and seeks to improve San Francisco’s walking environment by educating residents, city agencies, and elected officials about the need for more pedestrian-friendly streets. During this grant period, Walk SF would focus on three primary strategies: (1) Vision Zero to redesign particularly unsafe streets and intersections to increase pedestrian safety and promote walking; (2) Green Connections, which would enable residents of low-income areas to walk to open space along corridors that are safe and inviting; and (3) Safe Routes to Schools, which continues to work on reducing speed limits to fifteen miles per hour around 181 San Francisco schools.
