In 2012 we launched the Tenderloin Safe Passage Route, an 11 block sidewalk mural which highlights routes through the neighborhood which are most frequently trafficked by children and families. Our goal in doing so is to raise awareness of the large number of children and families who make the Tenderloin home and to focus community driven safety efforts in ways that can make the most impact. Our ongoing volunteer driven Corner Captain program places trained safety monitors on high-traffic, high-risk intersections along the route during weekday after-school times. To support this effort, the Tenderloin police have adjusted their patrols in coordination with the route and school commute times to ensure youth walking to and from school feel safe.
