The city's Vision Zero tracker also shows that more than 200 others are seriously injured while traveling on city streets every year."It has objectively failed. We were supposed to have zero roadway fatalities and severe injuries this year. By my count, we had about over 30. Thirty-nine fatalities in 2022 and about 500 severe injuries every year. So we are not even close to zero," said Bornheimer.
"We are committed to being the first city in California to finally be able to implement the speed safety cameras that we fought so hard to legalize. We are doing that staff work now," said Jeffrey Tumlin, director of SFMTA.
