This month’s ISIS attacks on the capital city of France has taken its toll. More than 129 people were killed and hundreds more injured. Travelers were and still struggling to leave the city in order not to disturb the city’s grieving.

The French president had declared the country a state of emergency and had closed all of the borders. Many flights had been delayed or canceled. Social media had also erupted with posts and photos saying #PrayForParis.

For the Geary BRT project, San Francisco wants to demolish the pedestrians bridges spanning over Geary Street in the Richmond and Japantown. As wide as Geary Street it is, crossing the wide street is not easy. With more than 6 lanes of traffic, it can also be deadly trying to cross it. The pedestrian bridge solves that problem. It has a ramp that lets pedestrians go over Geary Street without having to walk through the lanes of traffic.

But the Geary BRT project calls for the demolishment of the bridges to make the 38-Geary line faster and more efficient. Many residents oppose the idea. Demolishing the bridges would make Geary Street more dangerous as well as harder for the disabled and seniors.

Faster transit is one thing and pedestrian safety is another. Do residents in the area a favor, and don't remove the bridges for their safety!
