San Francisco just took bike safety to new heights, literally. The city’s Municipal Transportation Agency just debuted it’s first ever raised bike path, in an attempt to provide a few blocks of protection in the heart of downtown.
The lane stretches along Market Street, from Gough to 12th, and is just the first of many paths scheduled for construction during the next year. San Francisco has chosen path locations based off accident prone areas of the city, and will hopefully choose the path over weaving through the sidewalk, while cars will hopefully find it more difficult to veer off…
In the wake of the terrible tour bus crash in Union Square earlier this month, victims have begun speaking out and even Mayor Lee is beginning to take action. Dr. Manuel Canga, who was on his way to an embassy downtown, simply took a wrong turn into Union Square, finding himself in the wrong place and the wrong time. Canga, who was traveling with his brother, was in a white BMW in Union Square that Friday, the 13th.
Canga describes the accident as a “big bang…like ‘bang!’…and I was like ‘oh my god! what’s happening?!” Canga was reacting to…
Anyone that follows my articles knows my passion for pedestrian safety and my support of Vision Zero, the plan adopted by San Francisco and other cities across the nation, to reduce and eliminate pedestrian fatalities over the next 10 years.

Such is the case for Soren Kim and his wife Hana,who have been taking turns pulling 24 hour shifts at the hospital, watching over their daughter after she…
Having the ability to see is something that some people take for granted. Eyes are very complex parts of our bodies, so the fact that eye maintenance is minimal could be why it is easy to forget how lucky we are to be able to see. All we have to do is wake up in the morning, and our eyes are all set to go. We use them all day long, then we go to bed, and when we wake up, they’re ready to go. Our eye injury lawyers understand that sometimes, this whole process can be compromised by severe…
When Julia sprained her shoulder and fractured her wrist after a faulty elevator door in her office complex closed on her, the first person she contacted was a defective property lawyer.
After Josh’s trip to the community pool, his parents found what appeared to be chemical burns on his underarms and upper torso. While mom called the emergency room, dad called a defective property lawyer.
