I have been in SF for two years.......When I want to park by a meter I never know if it is for one hour or two.........a simple solution.........mark the meters....one hour or two. I find it VERY frustrating. Another peeve....probably not your problem.....but is is a REAL problem........the cabs should have lights that indicate it has a passenger or it is free........there must be a way to take care of this without having to buy new cars.......they could have a magnetic sign for the top of the car.........maybe they don't care......I have no idea what a bus only lane is......cars Read This Posty »

I am a San Francisco native. My husband and I subscribe to the Best of Broadway series. Being night workers, we usually do matinees; however, our tickets for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (Golden Gate Theatre) were for 8 PM. We usually have a pre-show beer at Original Joe's. I have NEVER in my life seen so many theatre-goers actually scurry in fear from the teeming masses of homeless camped all over the sidewalks and even in the street...my husband and I never scurry--like I said, I was born here and I am not afraid to "cross the gauntlet" as Read This Posty »

I thought there was a ordinance past several years ago which prohibited panhandling at intersections. I'd have to get a part-time job, if I gave to everyone who asked me for money on the streets. Can this ordinance be enforced?

It seems as though a lot of attention is being paid to fixing pot holes and leveling off streets, but not to improving safety standards on the street. If you drive through many neighborhoods, you will see that pedestrian zone paint in the streets, for example, is fading in so many intersections that it is almost impossible to see. Similarly, there are so many crowded and dangerous intersections that need stop lights, not just stop signs. And others that do not even have stop signs. Further, pedestrian safety signage in parts of the city is woefully inadequate. In light of Read This Posty »

One more for the record books if you truly track these at all. Can you do something about the pedestrians in this city. I read articles and see constant reporting about how pedestrians put their lives at risk crossing our city streets. I drive and walk in this city everyday. I see people jaywalking, walking in the middle the street, standing in intersections on green lights or sauntering as if they are strolling in the park on a Sunday against the traffic. Some even stop in intersections with rushing on-coming cars daring them to hit them saying "I'm walking here". Read This Posty »

They, as well as WalkSF, think the countdown is to tell them how much time they have to start crossing whereas it is for people off the curb to finish. This prevents traffic from turning right, causing back-ups, congestion, and air pollution from idling vehicles.

Muni bus drivers frequently do two things that are both illegal and very dangerous. First, I repeatedly observe them running red lights. There is nothing more selfish and unnecessary than this, and it puts passengers and other drivers in danger. Second, they clog up intersections by not waiting until they know they can make it through before the light changes. So they end up getting stuck in the middle of the intersection and stopping all the other cars from getting through. Both of these things can be easily remedied by better training and (sadly) police enforcing the traffic laws against Read This Posty »
