It’s a week packed with everything from holiday bashes to useful workshops. Check out BART’s plans for bikes, get your bike ready for the weather, reimagine the streets of SoMa, speak up at some important meetings, and hop on your bike this weekend for the opening of a bike-ped tunnel or tours in the city. Here are the highlights from the Streetsblog calendar:
- Monday: BART Bicycle Accessibility Task Force Meeting. Learn about and provide your input on BART’s plans for adding station bike parking, redesigning trains to accommodate more bikes, and “planning for more bikeable, more walkable station extensions.” 6 pm.
- Tuesday: Included in this week’s SFMTA Board agenda is the approval of what appears may be bus stop optimization along Folsom Street; the authorization of funds for bike parking and lanes along John Muir Dr. and The Great Highway; and “supporting the formation of the Ocean Avenue Community Benefit District”. 1 pm.
