Potrero Hill, San Francisco

Artist Anne DeVine, a graduate student of the California College of the Arts, spent this past Sunday walking the equivalent of a marathon to raise awareness on the need for crosswalks on 16th St - one at Wisconsin Street and the other at Arkansas Street.

“There’s a lot of foot traffic here,” Devine said Sunday afternoon as she crossed 16th Street’s four lanes donning an orange fluorescent vest. “This neighborhood is expanding. There’s a lot of traffic. The City can’t keep putting it off. There’s so much traffic.”

…

When Devine approached The City’s Department of Parking and Traffic about installing crosswalks, city officials studied the issue, she said. The department found that two crosswalks were needed but couldn’t fund the projects currently, Devine said.
