Bicycling

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.

This spring, as part of the Muni Forward project, the city installed two new traffic circles and two new signals on McAllister Street to improve the performance of the 5 Fulton bus.

In San Francisco, putting a bike share station at the top of a hill has predictable results. People are happy to rent one and roll on down the hill. Going the other direction, not so much. That results in empty bike share stations. "The topography challenge is very real," said Collin Waldoch, who manages the 'Bike Angels' program for the Bay Area and New York's bike share program.

Even on new streets, city continues using dangerous, out-dated bike lane designs.

San Francisco's 24th Bike to Work day did not start out well for District Six Supervisor and Mayoral Candidate Jane Kim. She woke up this morning and discovered her faithful steed had a flat tire. But she got it fixed in time to join a Bike to Work Day Commuter Convoy for a ride on some of the city's newest protected bike infrastructure. "I got to ride on protected bike lanes on Folsom, 7th and Turk," she said after the ride, at a rally on the steps of City Hall. "It's an incredible way to get to work."
