While BART ground to a halt this morning due to "ice", hard-working @SFMTA_Muni crews were on Battery St installing the Financial District's very first protected bike lanes. The new lanes will be open for use in the next few weeks!
Seeing a lot of Lake St in my mentions… Quick thread here to clarify a few things and dispel some rumors 1/
@SFMTA_Muni Golden Gate Ave Quick-Build added protected bike lanes through the Tenderloin in 2021. The results are clear: cars parked in the bike lane⬇️90%; and biking ⬆️29%. Connection?

If you haven’t followed SF transpo Twitter today, you may have missed that long awaited designs for protected bike lanes on Valencia are available for comment. Please take a look! The response has been mixed (at best!), so hear are a few counterpoints sfmta.com/valenciaopenhouse
What goes well with 20mph zones? How about No Turn on Red? New @sfmta_muni report shows 90%+ compliance and 70% fewer cars blocking crosswalks in the Tenderloin and recommends expansion to business districts citywide! sfmta.com/sites/default/file…
Love this thread! Just hit 20+ years carfree, now with 2 kids (8 and 5), and it’s going great! Here are a few thoughts…

New Vision Zero Action Strategy to deliver safe SF streets is complete! The product is great, and the collaborative process was even better. Nervous about what it will take to deliver, but excited to meet the challenge! (See thread for details)
Today, @LondonBreed released the 2021 @VisionZeroSF Action Strategy - a bold, citywide strategy for eliminating traffic deaths and reducing severe injuries in San Francisco. sfmta.com/blog/san-francisco… 1/
Lots of questions out there from folks excited about AB43 bringing slower speed limits to San Francisco soon, but wondering about the details. See @sfmta_muni new statement on what this law allows and when. First changes coming in January 2022! sfmta.com/blog/new-law-bring…
The results are in! @sfmta_muni Slow Streets = More walking and biking; fewer cars; slower traffic; and happy people! What's not to love? (Well, we do need better tools to keep cars out on some streets but more coming on that soon) sfmta.com/blog/residents-ove…
One fewer unnecessary travel lane, one more safety project delivered on a high-injury street through the @sfmta_muni quick-build program!
SFMTA crews are out on Williams Ave today installing our newest quick-build! The project removes an excess travel lane from the street to slow traffic and make it easier to cross the street.

The daily grind and pace of city politics can be frustrating. But despite challenges, progress on making SF a world-class biking city is accelerating thanks to strong leadership. Proud to have been a part of meeting the 20 mile goal, and looking forward to the next challenges!
Two years ago, we set an ambitious goal of adding 20 new miles of protected bike lanes. We've met and exceeded that goal.
We're making long-term changes and short-term fixes, and working to make San Francisco a city where it's safe and convenient to bike.

Bike to Wherever Day Eve is sad this year. With the horrific hit & run on Polk and end of AB550, this is a tough week. Looking forward to seeing many friends and colleagues IRL tomorrow. We need (emotional) energizer stations more than ever! Much to celebrate and much work to do
@sfmta_muni Signal and Paint Shops turned on new protected bike signals on 2nd at Harrison and Bryant this week. Looking at the wires inside a signal cabinet never gets old :)
Construction happening on Folsom protected bike lanes from 2nd to 5th! This project will FINALLY bring protected lanes to the entire Folsom/Howard corridor in SoMa. Many thanks to the numerous community advocates and staff who have pushed these critical changes forward!
Fun fact: @sfmta_muni Sign Shop installed a record 1,108 new bike racks in 2020, more than twice the pace of 2019. Know a place in SF that needs a rack? Make your request here: sfmta.com/getting-around/bik…
Really interested to see how these work! Our current construction barricades are falling apart and can't be maintained much longer. If this new design is successful, look for it to spread throughout SF in early 2021
Check out the new delineators and signs we're piloting on some of our Slow Street corridors! Big thanks to our sign shop for all the hard work #SlowStreetsSF
