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.

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?

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.

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 🙏

Your reminder that SFMTA prioritizes cars and driver convenience over people’s safety.

SFMTA could approve a citywide No Turn on Red policy if it wanted, and Mayor Lurie can direct SFMTA to propose it.

The recent car crashes that destroyed two businesses’ parklets highlight the negative impacts of cars on our city and the need for policy and infrastructure to help people shift trips from cars to bikes and public transit as well as physical infrastructure to protect parklets.

SFMTA beginning construction of the curbside bikeways on Valencia Street—replacing the flawed center bikeway—is a great step forward.

Now, the City needs to extend the curbside bikeways to Cesar Chavez Street and widen the bikeways for the entirety of Valencia, ideally in 2025.

SFMTA’s plan to not expand parking meter hours in the evening and on Sundays is disastrous and inequitable, and runs counter to the goals and policies SFMTA and the City claim to prioritize. SFMTA must expand parking meter hours to fund Muni and other transportation improvements.

SFMTA should be making daylighting intuitive by installing bike corrals, bikeshare stations, planters or benches in daylighting spaces.

In the meantime, ignoring state law and allowing cars to be store within 20 feet of crosswalks decrease public safety.

We need leadership now.
