The following information was forwarded to us from a church neighbor today,
A candlelight walk will proceed from a local school a block away from the collision site and gather at the intersection of Masonic and Turk in remembrance of Yannik Linke. The tragic death of the young visitor to San Francisco and the circumstances of the hit-and-run collision have shocked and saddened neighbors, bicyclists, city officials, and everyone concerned about safety on city streets. Representatives from community organizations will speak at the memorial and comments from others will be welcome.
We will also remember our neighbor, Melissa Dennison, who was tragically struck while crossing the street at Fell and Broderick less than a year ago.
The tragic deaths of these two young people underscore the importance of creating safe streets for everyone to use. Please join your neighbors in solidarity for safer streets.
Wednesday, August 25th, 8pm
Meet at San Francisco Day School courtyard, 350 Masonic @ Golden Gate Avenue
The walk will proceed on the sidewalk up Golden Gate Avenue to Turk Street, cross Turk
and gather at the site of the collision.
