Great article on managing Central Parks drives for pedestrians, runners, bikes and carriages. Thanks to @johnsurico.bsky.social for including JFK Promenade and Sunset Dunes for comparison.

Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined

As more urban green spaces go car-free, how does the world’s most-visited city park deal with a growing crush of bike and pedestrian traffic?

@rollovereasy.bsky.social I’m curious what Chris thinks of the SF Bay Area Bench Collective’s recent installation of Duderstadt-inspired benches at Muni stops, and what he would think of a potential official permitting process for community members to install benches at Muni stops around the city.

San Francisco's Vision Zero efforts—to eliminate roadway fatalities and severe injuries—have failed because the City hasn't focused on making it safer and faster to walk, bike, and take public transit, which would help people shift trips from cars to walking, biking, and transit.

Thanks, Andrew! It took longer and caused more stress than it should have, but it was worth it for the end result—I'm glad this section of Valencia now has curbside bikeways. Now, time to finish the job for south of 23rd 👏

The curbside bikeways on Valencia Street between 15th and 23rd are coming along and a huge improvement. Thanks to everyone who supported @StreetsForward.org's campaign for curbside bikeways!

Great question and point! Yes, there will be plastic soft-hit posts in the “buffer” between the bikeway and driving lanes. Full design at www.sfmta.com/media/41021/....

There should be concrete separating the bikeway—and protecting people on bikes—but this is all the City was willing to do for now.

Valencia Street’s curbside bikeways are now installed between 19th and 23rd Street, replacing the center bikeway and transforming the street into one that is safer and better for business, thanks to people who supported @StreetsForward.org’s ‘Better Valencia’ campaign 👏 Thank you 🙏
