In case you were wondering what would become of the newly empty curb space at Market and 10th Streets, where the traffic lane stripings were re-configured over the weekend, it turns out the SFMTA plans to put a bike-share station there.
"With Bay Area Bike Share set to launch this August, the SFMTA saw an opening to initiate striping changes that would better utilize space on this segment of Market St., and provided room for an upcoming bike sharing station on the south side of Market St, just east of 10th St.," SFMTA spokesperson Paul Rose wrote in an email.
Fancy that.
The SFMTA says it does plan to re-install the plastic posts along the bike lanes, and Rose said the Market Street bike counter "will be up and running soon after modifications and re-calibration."
