The protected bike lanes on the KONO section of Telegraph Avenue in Oakland, from 20th to 29th, are now well under construction and should be finished mid 2023. Streetsblog thought it's time for a quick update on the progress in this important business district and on a thoroughfare for cyclists, bus riders, and motorists.

Slow Streets and Great Highway Park victories in San Francisco, fire code disaster averted in Oakland

URGENT: Advocates want the Oakland City Council to pull Rule D105.2 (commonly referred to as the “26-foot rule”) from the fire Code [Council item S15] at Tuesday December 6's Council meeting and send it to the Public Safety Committee for discussion and revision.

URGENT: Call in or write to the SFMTA to support making Slow Streets permanent. Endorse the People’s Slow Streets plan.
