Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined As more urban green spaces go car-free, how does the world’s most-visited city park deal with a growing crush of bike and pedestrian traffic?

Great article on managing Central Parks drives for pedestrians, runners, bikes and carriages. Thanks to @johnsurico.bsky.social for including JFK Promenade and Sunset Dunes for comparison.

@rollovereasy.bsky.social I’m curious what Chris thinks of the SF Bay Area Bench Collective’s recent installation of Duderstadt-inspired benches at Muni stops, and what he would think of a potential official permitting process for community members to install benches at Muni stops around the city.

San Francisco's Vision Zero effortsβ€”to eliminate roadway fatalities and severe injuriesβ€”have failed because the City hasn't focused on making it safer and faster to walk, bike, and take public transit, which would help people shift trips from cars to walking, biking, and transit.

Thanks, Andrew! It took longer and caused more stress than it should have, but it was worth it for the end resultβ€”I'm glad this section of Valencia now has curbside bikeways. Now, time to finish the job for south of 23rd πŸ‘

The curbside bikeways on Valencia Street between 15th and 23rd are coming along and a huge improvement. Thanks to everyone who supported @StreetsForward.org's campaign for curbside bikeways!

Great question and point! Yes, there will be plastic soft-hit posts in the β€œbuffer” between the bikeway and driving lanes. Full design at www.sfmta.com/media/41021/....

There should be concrete separating the bikewayβ€”and protecting people on bikesβ€”but this is all the City was willing to do for now.

Your reminder that SFMTA prioritizes cars and driver convenience over people’s safety.

SFMTA could approve a citywide No Turn on Red policy if it wanted, and Mayor Lurie can direct SFMTA to propose it.
