Rules Committee backs Marta Lindsey for Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee
Summary
The Rules Committee unanimously recommended Marta Lindsey, a WALK San Francisco communications instructor, to the Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, with public support from Joel Ramos and committee members emphasizing the need to fill vacancies, especially seats representing seniors and people with disabilities.
The Rules Committee voted on March 2 to forward a positive recommendation to the full Board for Marta Lindsey's appointment to the Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee.
Lindsey, identified as a communications instructor at WALK San Francisco, told the committee she walks for most trips, has two young children and is committed to pedestrian safety. She said the committee currently faces vacancies that make achieving a quorum difficult and emphasized outreach to senior and disability groups to fill seats.
Joel Ramos spoke in support of Lindsey, describing her as "a fierce advocate" who would hold agencies accountable and help advance Vision Zero goals. A committee motion to recommend Lindsey to the full Board passed "without objection." The clerk noted a committee member was absent for the vote.
The nomination will be placed on the Board agenda for final action.
