Dear Kevin, THIS WEEK:
Happy Pride Month! We’re hosting an Intro to Urban Bicycling Workshop for LGBTQ folks and allies on June 17. Register online today. Healing the Bernal Cut: New San Jose Avenue Bikeway
This project is the result of years of community organizing – particularly from the College Hill Neighborhood Association – as well as the leadership of Supervisor Wiener and the support of Supervisors Avalos and Campos, bringing us closer to our vision of Connecting the City. Last Week's Muni Service Delays Meant More People Biking Did you notice more people biking last week? We sure did! The bike lanes were bustling as more people took to bicycles to avoid the Muni delays from the huge reduction in service. The Market Street bike counter showed a slightly higher than normal count, but it was bike lanes in the outer neighborhoods that were really bustling. On an ordinary day, Market Street averages about 2,800 trips inbound per day, and last week it topped more than 3,000. Unfortunately, with more people driving or taking rideshare, the bike counter was blocked by illegally parked cars more often, so we think that count is even higher than it showed. If you or someone you know started biking because of the Muni delays, we encourage you all to keep riding. Here’s everything you need to “get rolling” on a regular basis. Welcome Brian, New Development Director
Upper Haight Complete Streets Planning on Wednesday, 6/11, 6PM Since late 2012, the SF Planning Department has hosted a series of public meetings to develop a locally driven Haight-Ashbury Public Realm Plan. This plan will propose a series of road and streetscape improvements to make this vibrant neighborhood more comfortable and welcoming to all users, whether they are biking, walking or taking transit to their favorite destination. The Planning Department will be holding their next workshop to do a deeper dive into the Haight Street proposals next week. This meeting will be an open house format, which gives you a chance to talk directly with representatives from Planning Department and the SFMTA. Read more here and take a look at their proposals.
