Letter to the Editor: Hazards for Mobility-Challenged Citizens
I am a mobility-challenged senior. I use a scooter, crutches and walker to get around. I have trouble with the yellow dome bump pads they are putting on every corner. I can lose balance, slip on them if wet and can’t roll up them (too much friction). I’m not strong enough on one leg.

Letter to the Editor – Urgent Action Required to Save Our Neighborhoods
Given the geology of Northern California, the history of San Francisco and a knowledge of urban conflagrations, it will be clearly understood that, in the absence of adequate post-earthquake emergency water supplies, the 138,000 wood-frame buildings and the 390,000 residents that occupy the fifteen neighborhoods not protected by the AWSS will fall victim to catastrophic loss,
