From SFBC:
The Board of Supervisors Land Use & Economic Development Committee will be hearing and voting on updates to the Planning Code requirements for bike parking in new and renovated buildings. After unanimous passage at the SF Planning Commission, these changes move forward for final adoption. After years of advocacy from the SF Bicycle Coalition, the Planning Department brought forward changes to require more bike parking in both residential and commercial buildings, and a slew of other ways to improve the security of bike parking all across the city.
