To be more consistent and “in compliance with state law,” the agency said it will move forward with 20-foot daylighting zones throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under AB 314, local authorities are allowed to establish a different distance for the approach if the change is marked by paint or a sign. An ordinance must also be passed that explicitly includes data proving that the shortened distance is justified by existing safety standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other community members have also said they have expressed concerns about the curbs to the SFMTA, and the dangers created by parked cars near intersections. Danielle Jezienicki, a mother of three who also lives in the Richmond, was waiting for her husband to pick their son up from school when she received news that the 6-year-old was involved in a life-threatening crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crash, which happened in October, took place only 100 feet away from her child’s elementary school.

She also wants to see education campaigns teaching residents and drivers about the daylighting law and why it’s important for pedestrian safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, Jezienicki’s child has made what appears to be a full recovery, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her family has not used the bike since the crash, she said, and she feels paranoid every time she crosses the street. Jezienicki said she also struggles with crossing the intersection at Balboa Street when she picks her son up or drops him off at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just an unpleasant reminder of the worst day and moments of my life,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haunted by reminders of the accident, Jezienicki is now working with groups such as Walk San Francisco to advocate for safer streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And when he used his InReach satellite messaging device to get the weather forecast the morning of the storm, it showed 0% chance of precipitation, “so we weren’t worried about precipitation at all,” he said.

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
