Residents urge speed bumps, traffic calming near San Bruno Park after pedestrian collisions
Summary
Multiple residents told the council they had witnessed or learned of recent pedestrian collisions near the south end of San Bruno Park and urged the city to add speed bumps, signage, or other traffic-calming measures to protect pedestrians and park users.
Several residents used the public-comment period on Sept. 23 to press the City Council for traffic-calming changes at the south end of San Bruno Park following recent collisions.
Boris Kudrin told the council he witnessed a neighbor, Amit Logia, struck while a vehicle turned from Santa Lucia onto DeSoto Way and that the neighbor suffered a broken ankle. Kudrin said motorists often speed through the area and sometimes run stop signs, and he suggested installing speed bumps where other nearby streets already use them.
Maureen Killough, who said she frequently uses the park for pickleball and dog walks, described the crosswalk near the south end of the park as "scary" and on a curve where drivers travel fast; she said she witnessed someone struck last Thursday and urged "real thoughtful input" and protective measures to slow traffic while maintaining access.
George Gerard (who identified himself at the podium) said sightlines at the intersection are poor because landscape and a brick pump station create a blind corner; he described rut and rub marks on the curves and said he had not seen a posted speed limit within the park.
Council members acknowledged the safety concerns and said the matter will be placed on a future agenda for staff analysis and potential traffic-calming options. No formal action was taken at this meeting.
