Pedestrian advocates say safer designs and traffic calming measures on dangerous streets would need to go hand in hand with speed reductions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA staffers found that 60 percent of pedestrian injuries and deaths occur on just 6 percent of streets. More than 100 pedestrians are “severely injured or killed” each year, and 800 are injured, they found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Reducing speeds in San Francisco is critical for the health and well-being of our community,\" Schneider said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mar hopes to propose some policy changes once the data starts coming in in the early fall.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Drivers often ignore the posted speed limits, and can travel upwards of 40 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a life saving difference between 40 and 20 mph. A pedestrian is more likely to survive a collision with a car when the vehicle is traveling at 20 mph or under, says Nicole Schneider, executive director of Walk San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can compare it to falling off a five-story building versus a one-story building,\" Schneider said. \"At 40 mph, you have a five percent chance of living. But at 20 mph you have an 85 percent chance of living.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some streets that could be targeted for speed reductions are in dense neighborhoods with high pedestrian injuries and fatalities, such as SoMa and the Tenderloin. Pedestrian advocates say safer designs and traffic calming measures on dangerous streets would need to go hand in hand with speed reductions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA staffers found that 60 percent of pedestrian injuries and deaths occur on just 6 percent of streets. More than 100 pedestrians are “severely injured or killed” each year, and 800 are injured, they found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Reducing speeds in San Francisco is critical for the health and well-being of our community,\" Schneider said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mar hopes to propose some policy changes once the data starts coming in in the early fall.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The 7.9-mile French Trail loop is a single-track favorite among hikers, though there are many easy ways to shorten the hike.

There are two ways up, including the \u003ca href=\"http://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/sausalito-stairway-walk-to-marin-headlands/\" target=\"_blank\">Excelsior route\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sausalito.com/story/Hiking-Options-in-Sausalito/583442\" target=\"_blank\">North Street route\u003c/a>.

You can stop at the top and head back down to explore Sausalito’s other hidden staircases (El Monte Steps, Reade Lane, North Street Steps) or if you’re looking for more, it’s a 20-minute walk to the Marin Headlands where you can pick up the SCA Trail or Rodeo Valley Trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Distance:\u003c/strong> Steps only is about a 3.5-mile loop.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Getting There:\u003c/strong> Take a Golden Gate or Blue & Gold ferry from San Francisco to Sausalito.

For normal bus fare, you can avoid the Golden Gate Bridge toll and the often-treacherous parking situation. (Heck, even if you have a car this might be a better option!) Explore the web of trails that make up this beloved park, and map a route to suit your fitness level.

The park was once the site of an extensive logging operation that supplied building materials for the Bay Area. Now there are dense groves of thriving second-growth redwoods tucked along the creeks, mixed with oak and bay trees. Sticky monkey flower alternates with sagebrush on open slopes. The 7.9-mile French Trail loop is a single-track favorite among hikers, though there are many easy ways to shorten the hike. If you’re looking for longer, you could easily plan a route that would take you 20+ miles.

Herrera gave the company until July 11 to shut down. MonkeyParking has responded with \u003ca href=\"http://monkeyparkingapp.strikingly.com/\">an online declaration\u003c/a> that it's not about to cease operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"MonkeyParking is an innovative social sharing app that lets registered users communicate with each other when a parking spot becomes available,\" the statement says. \"Users have the opportunity to be paid for the information communicated based on whether or not the communication successfully identifies a parking spot that is available.

We are very surprised that the City of San Francisco, which prides itself of being a liberal and tolerating city, does not see that their cease and desist letter is an open violation of free speech, contrary to the First Amendment of the US Constitution (“I have the right to tell people if I am about to leave a parking spot and they have the right to pay me for such information”).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Herrera spokesman Matt Dorsey told \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/cityinsider/2014/06/26/monkeyparking-tells-sf-its-not-going-to-kill-its-parking-app/\" target=\"_blank\">the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that's \"wildly inventive verbal gymnastics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be honest,\" Dorsey told the Chron. \"It’s like a prostitute saying she’s not selling sex — she’s only selling information about her willingness to have sex with you. It’s semantic hair-splitting, and it’s absurd.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MonkeyParking's statement also appears to fly in the face of the way it has pitched its service, both on its website and in its app. Just a couple of days ago, a sample app screen on the MonkeyParking site included this dialogue: \"John will pay $10 for your current parking spot.

When the California Public Utilities Commission told the companies in 2012 \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/03851232-DD84-47C1-B134-D90C8D15D3B7/0/CeaseandDesistLetters.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">they were breaking the law\u003c/a> by carrying passengers without the required state permits, the companies simply shrugged and told the CPUC, “You just don’t get what we do.” Although the firms were hit with fines of $20,000 each for flouting the law, eventually the CPUC adopted a set of rules that has allowed them to operate pretty much as they please. Uber is valued at $17 billion, though \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/06/17/2014/Uber-Lyft-Insurance-crack-down\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in California\u003c/a> (and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/06/19/2014/uber-lyft-regulations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elsewhere\u003c/a>) it and the other ride companies remain under scrutiny by regulators and lawmakers over a variety of issues, including whether they provide sufficient insurance coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, will MonkeyParking and its cousins survive? Will they convince regulators that they’ve figured out a way of making the on-street parking market more rational and efficient?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s one big difference between Airbnb and the Ubers of the world and MonkeyParking and its ilk: When it comes to facilitating a temporary apartment rental or a ride in someone’s car, those pay-to-share services are dealing with access to private property. Yes, state and local governments long ago decided the public has an interest in regulating how that property is used in some circumstances. But still, when you rent your place on Airbnb or put a pink mustache on your car to take strangers from Point A to Point B, you’re using \u003cem>your\u003c/em> house and \u003cem>your\u003c/em> car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, the new parking apps are attempting to traffic in public property — something paid for, built and maintained by public taxes and fees. It’s my property, and yours too, and everyone, in theory, enjoys equal access. Honestly, it seems more than a little presumptuous to think you can grant a select group of drivers the privilege to buy and sell the public’s street parking. Not all drivers have a smartphone that would enable them to access such a service, and not all have the same ability to pay under such a scheme — depending on the app, drivers would pay between $5 and $20 on each space or bid for it in an auction. One other detail: It’s against state law and recklessly unsafe to be fiddling with smartphone apps while operating a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of course, parking’s a mess in San Francisco. People in our oh-so-highly-innovative, environmentally conscious region really like driving and are willing to put up with 17 kinds of hell to keep doing it, including circling the block time after time to find that elusive free parking space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you listen to ParkModo founder Daniel Shifrin, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201406250930\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a guest on KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> on Wednesday\u003c/a>, his service is all about reducing the negative environmental, safety and economic impacts of that endless circling. He said city officials “categorically don’t understand what this business is” and reminded the audience, “I’m the gentleman who founded Zipcar in San Francisco. I’m personally responsible for removing more cars from the streets of San Francisco and more carbon emissions and congestion than anybody in this city ever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said ParkModo, which doesn’t appear to have a working website as of Wednesday afternoon, “is not trying to privatize public parking spots at all.” Instead, he said, the company is simply facilitating an exchange of information, for a fee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you know when I am leaving a spot, and you’re privy to that information, then you can easily go to that location and avoid the parking search,” Shifrin said. The fee users pay is simply an incentive for drivers to participate in a solution to an inefficient parking market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric Goldman, a Santa Clara University law professor and co-director of the school’s High Tech Law Institute, said in an interview with KQED’s Mina Kim that MonkeyParking and similar apps are “a logical extension of the sharing economy. … In the end, I think the underlying problem is too few parking spots, too many cars in San Francisco. I do think we’re going to see constant innovation in that area, where people are going to try to find fixes to the problem because the supply-and-demand imbalance is just overwhelming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking for a more down-to-earth take on where “sharing” parking spaces for pay might lead, a \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> listener named Christine had this thought. A longtime resident of North Beach, she recounted a confrontation with a driver who pulled a gun during a dispute over a parking space in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People will be incandescent with rage when someone comes in and snakes a spot” using one of the apps, she predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the full \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> segment:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/156011571&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

One other detail: It’s against state law and recklessly unsafe to be fiddling with smartphone apps while operating a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of course, parking’s a mess in San Francisco. People in our oh-so-highly-innovative, environmentally conscious region really like driving and are willing to put up with 17 kinds of hell to keep doing it, including circling the block time after time to find that elusive free parking space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you listen to ParkModo founder Daniel Shifrin, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201406250930\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a guest on KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> on Wednesday\u003c/a>, his service is all about reducing the negative environmental, safety and economic impacts of that endless circling. He said city officials “categorically don’t understand what this business is” and reminded the audience, “I’m the gentleman who founded Zipcar in San Francisco. I’m personally responsible for removing more cars from the streets of San Francisco and more carbon emissions and congestion than anybody in this city ever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said ParkModo, which doesn’t appear to have a working website as of Wednesday afternoon, “is not trying to privatize public parking spots at all.” Instead, he said, the company is simply facilitating an exchange of information, for a fee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you know when I am leaving a spot, and you’re privy to that information, then you can easily go to that location and avoid the parking search,” Shifrin said. The fee users pay is simply an incentive for drivers to participate in a solution to an inefficient parking market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric Goldman, a Santa Clara University law professor and co-director of the school’s High Tech Law Institute, said in an interview with KQED’s Mina Kim that MonkeyParking and similar apps are “a logical extension of the sharing economy. … In the end, I think the underlying problem is too few parking spots, too many cars in San Francisco. I do think we’re going to see constant innovation in that area, where people are going to try to find fixes to the problem because the supply-and-demand imbalance is just overwhelming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking for a more down-to-earth take on where “sharing” parking spaces for pay might lead, a \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> listener named Christine had this thought. A longtime resident of North Beach, she recounted a confrontation with a driver who pulled a gun during a dispute over a parking space in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People will be incandescent with rage when someone comes in and snakes a spot” using one of the apps, she predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the full \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> segment:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
