May 29th, 2020. Devlin O’Connor, 30, was struck by a driver of a car after being knocked down by another driver who opened their door into his path on Frederick Street between Willard and Arguello.

The street on which Devlin was killed is more than 45 feet wide, with two lanes of car parking, two lanes of vehicle traffic, but no bike lanes. One year ago, Mayor London Breed promised to deliver 20 miles of protected bike lanes within two years. So far, the Mayor has failed to deliver on that goal.
