Keynote Speaker: Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is honored to welcome Janette Sadik-Khan, Commisioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, as our illustrious keynote speaker. Hear first-hand from this leading livable streets expert about how she opened up miles of new bikeways in New York City, is helping launch a large-scale bikeshare program, and transformed hundreds of New York City blocks -- including Times Square -- into safer, more beautiful and livable spaces. We are honored to present the 2013 Golden Wheel Awards to: CC Puede: Cesar Chavez, Yes We Can A grassroots coalition started in 2005, CC Puede has made great strides in creating a better, more livable Cesar Chavez Street. Because of their work, Cesar Chavez East received short-term safety improvements in 2012 and a comprehensive Cesar Chavez West street redesign is now under construction. CC Puede has demonstrated the unstoppable power of neighbors of all backgrounds coming together to improve their street and neighborhood. Yerba Buena Community Benefit District (YBCBD) The Yerba Buena Community Benefit District is a nonprofit organization that focuses on improving the quality of life in the Yerba Buena neighborhood by making it cleaner, safer and more vibrant. The SF Bicycle Coalition is recognizing the YBCBD for its groundbreaking work on developing and implementing the District’s Street Life Plan. Through this plan the YBCBD has launched its specially-designed bike rack program, mobile corral program and mobile parklets, with more projects to come that embrace and welcome bicycling.
