On Thursday, Nov 14th, I was riding home from BART. At Rose and Josephine in Berkeley, an intersection that I have always treated with care, and especially after dark, I ended up witnessing this tragedy. I saw a car hit a pedestrian (Ben I later learned).
Beloved, long-time Berkeley community member Ben Brown was the pedestrian killed on Rose Street.

We appreciate Councilmember Hahn acknowledging yesterday’s tragic pedestrian fatality on Rose Street.
However, she has not shown a commitment to safe streets.
She was the ONLY councilmember that did not support Measure FF, which is designed to help prevent such collisions. 🧵
