The San Francisco Citizen

SFMTA likes us! They really like us! That’s the only conclusion one can draw after witnessing the recently installed pedestrian countdown traffic signals on Gough Street.

You see, our Municipal Transportation Agency got some money from the Feds. (Somehow it makes sense for us to send money to Washington so they can send it back to us. Somehow.)

In any event, these new signals should help save lives. (Of course, it’s still an absolute joke that pedestrians on Van Ness don’t have dedicated signals to help them get across four lanes of traffic, but let’s not dwell on that.)

Hooray.

Well, they’re here - new countdown timer ped signals on Irving and Judah on 9th Avenue. Actually turning them on is the next critical step, but all the heavy lifting has been done. Hurray!
