Dozens of people in San Francisco stood at the intersection of 16th Street and Potrero in San Francisco holding signs at the spot where a person died Tuesday.
Demonstrators gathered at the intersection where a person was killed on 16th Street, and many of them say they live right here in this neighborhood. They say that this is a dangerous intersection, and they want the city to make some changes here."We're here today because a pedestrian was killed on 16th Street," said one protestor who had a megaphone and briefly stopped traffic as they held up their signs.
Some of the protestors say they put some blame on law enforcement officers for pursuing the suspect, Carlo Watson, 57, who is in jail booked on 19 charges including carjacking, reckless driving, murder, vehicle manslaughter, and driving without a license.program, which aims to have zero traffic deaths by the year 2024, to consider making more changes to this spot where the speed limit is 25 miles an hour, but cars often drive much faster.
"The sheer width of the street allows cars to get going really fast, going speeds that really aren't appropriate for a busy city street with a lot of pedestrians and bus riders," said Feeney.
