Bicycle Infrastructure

A hit-and-run driver slammed into a pedicab yesterday on the Embarcadero near Pier 29, sometime before 5 p.m., injuring a family, including two children. From the Fire Department's news feed, the victims sustained "serious injuries" and included a "five and an eight-year-old." It was later clarified that only the pedicab driver sustained life-threatening injuries, according to a report by CBS.

Sunday is San Francisco's Pride Parade on Market Street. This is also the last weekend before the summer closure of the Twin Peaks tunnel, so there are a few transportation items to track, so to speak.

Streetsblog tipster and advocate Brian Coyne brought this to our attention: "SFMTA's Sixth Street Safety Project, which Streetsblog has covered several times over the last few years, has now had the bike lane component removed." The plan, as shown on the agency's project page, is now to remove the bike facility and add an additional northbound car lane to the design.

It was a tough race, but yesterday candidate Mark Leno finally conceded to London Breed.
