Here's the pedestrian section, for those who don't support the Microsoft monopoly. I haven't yet had time to copy it in to the rest of the platform or integrate concerns. JMC Pedestrian At some point in the day, everyone is a pedestrian. The advantages of walking are borne out in both the health of pedestrian, and the health of the environment itself. The San Francisco Green Party assumes the task of lowering the number of households with cars from the current rate of 29%. The proposed solutions encompass three main areas of pedestrian welfare: safety, health and access. To this end, we support the following measures: " Funding for Police and DPT education and enforcement of laws relating to pedestrians. A better division of the DPT fines would make these programs self-sufficient. The allotment of funds, 40% to MUNI, 40% to a general fund, and 20% to seniors, would decrease the reliance of these programs on grans funding, as well. " Dedicated funds for funding of pedestrian and bike projects. " Fine increases: o Raise sidewalk fines to $100 o Double speeding fines on problem areas, beginning with 19th Ave. o Ticket motorized vehicles traveling over 10 MPH on sidewalks " Plant more trees along sidewalks and increase the number of benches to prevent sidewalk parking of vehicles, including motorcycles " Expand the number of pedestrian countdown signals and the zebra stripes in crosswalks " Motorists must be held accountable for pedestrian deaths. Push the DA to change the penalty to murder, not merely vehicular manslaughter or moving violation. -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc@sfgreens.org) http://www.dolorespark.org/
