It was nice to see Mission Loc@l's Rigoberto Hernandez do a follow up on the subject of the 19th and Dolores death trap (previously whined yelled about on this very blog). Interesting take aways from the piece include that Supervisor (and mayoral candidate) Bevan Dufty does not support stop signs at the intersection and the city is considering putting “bulb-outs,” similar to the ones installed recently on Valencia St., on Dolores.
Personally, I think stop lights, or better yet a stop light, or even better speed bumps or 5 Sandinistas brandishing machetes and assault riffles enforcing traffic laws, would be a better solution, but anything is an improvement.

If Dufty and his daughter lived on that corner instead of The Haight, you could be damned sure that there would be a stop sign along with Colt model crossing guards.
great issue and follow-up. i live across the park from this intersection and agree that city planners need to add some sort of slow-down measures asap. so maybe i’m just behind the curve or not up on my urban / traffic planning, but wtf are “bulb-outs” and “thumbnails with bollards”?? thanks.
