Maridee Bonadea was killed because we value convenient parking more than the safety of people on bikes.
When was the last time someone died because parking was not available next to their home?
We need to stop debating convenience vs safety. Safety comes first, on every single street.

The city could take emergency action and sign the uphill side of this street no-parking TODAY, or we can do 3 years of outreach and foot-dragging while we wait for the blood spilled to be enough to placate the "process".
