San Francisco Streets for People: Our Bold Idea This month, the San Francisco Foundation launched its Bay Area Bold campaign, highlighting revolutionary organizations and ideas that have sparked change in our city. We’re proud that the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition was chosen as one of the Bold ideas, and so thankful that the San Francisco Foundation helped our organization get rolling more than 40 years ago. We sat down with the SF Foundation to reminisce about what biking in SF was like 40 years ago, and how bold an idea it was to consider reclaiming space for people. Read about it here. Give Your Feedback on San Jose Avenue
In addition to the field observations, the SFTMA is also interested in getting feedback from people using the upgraded bike lane. Do you feel safer biking on San Jose Avenue through the Bernal Cut? Do you feel specific locations along the route need more protection or signage? Take their survey to let them know and help make this pilot project a success!
