Dear Kevin, THIS WEEK:
Still interested in working at the SF Bicycle Coalition? It’s not too late! We’re hiring an Operations Manager, Technology Coordinator and Valet Bicycle Parking Coordinator. NEWS & UPDATES Weigh in on Next Bike Projects in San Francisco
You can give your feedback in two ways: take our survey and/or come to our MEMBER MEETING TONIGHT and give your feedback in person. The Member Meeting is open to all current members and will be open house style, so swing by any time between 5 and 7PM. We will combine your responses with the feedback we get from members and the riding public throughout the year, and we will use it to inform our formal response to the SFMTA’s list. Expanding Bicycle Education for Professional Drivers
The SF Bicycle Coalition is already teaching Muni and taxi drivers how to safely share the streets with people biking. This month, we launched a partnership with Recology, a resource recovery company that manages San Francisco’s waste, to train their professional truck drivers on how to safely share the streets with people biking. Thanks to our members for supporting this important safety work. Read more about our professional driver education. Tell Supervisor Chiu to Support Better Biking on Polk Street District 3 Supervisor David Chiu told a packed community meeting on Polk Street last week that even though he believes “that more cycling activity on our streets will actually bring more economic activity and vitality to the community,” he supports the weak preferred alternative being proposed by the SFMTA for the corridor. Yet in spite of his convictions and a strong community mandate for transformative safety improvements that were recently reaffirmed by a community survey conducted by the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, Supervisor Chiu has toed the line set by small number of fearful merchants. Take a few minutes today to contact him and other City leaders and tell them that standing up for a safer Polk is the right thing for everyone. Sunday Streets Kicks off on March 9
Panhandle Community Opportunity Fund As a joint effort of several neighborhood groups, there will be a series of three workshops throughout March to identify improvements to the Panhandle, including better wayfinding and lighting, a repaved pedestrian path, and other amenities. The purpose of these meetings is to gather ideas for a grant application to the Community Opportunity Fund Program, which could bring in up to $500,000 to improve this popular location. Come to the meetings and take part in this exciting opportunity for better biking on this major connection!
