Streets, lights and timers are provided near Senior Centers. I live near two Senior Centers with no timers. You just sort of just talk across the street. And something bad can happen there, because a senior on their wheelchair could take more time than the average pedestrian. I want to continue the pensions and benefits that seniors receive, given by california and the city and county of San Francisco.
