SFMTA beginning construction of the curbside bikeways on Valencia Street—replacing the flawed center bikeway—is a great step forward.

Now, the City needs to extend the curbside bikeways to Cesar Chavez Street and widen the bikeways for the entirety of Valencia, ideally in 2025.

[Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @LukeBornheimer]

The Board of Supervisors unanimously rejected the appeal of the Mid-Valencia Curbside Bikeway Project, and construction of the curbside bikeways will begin on February 10 👏

Thank you to everyone who emailed and/or gave in-person public comment!

SF residents: please take a few minutes and support a safer way to ride bicycles on Valencia Street. Your community thanks you. 🚴✍️✅

The Valencia Curbside Bikeway Project—which was approved by the SFMTA Board in November and supposed to begin construction in early January—was appealed by 3–5 merchants.

Please send an email in support of the project using https://t.co/oSbsUk21DD—it takes less than 10 seconds!

Grassroots organizing and principled advocacy work! The Valencia Street center bikeway is being replaced with curbside bikeways, thanks in part to 1,400+ San Franciscans who signed @StreetsForward’s petition.

It was great speaking with @BikeTalkPFK about this huge achievement 🙏

Part of being an organizer is being in as many places as people are to organize 😮‍💨

“Luke Bornheimer of @StreetsForward criticized SFMTA’s Biking and Rolling Plan, saying it lacks a clear vision for a citywide [protected] bike lane network and pointing out that […] connected bike lanes help reduce car traffic, improve safety, and make streets better for all.”

The SFMTA Board has voted to replace the Valencia Street center bikeway with curbside bikeways—a huge victory for the 1,400+ San Franciscans who supported the @StreetsForward campaign for curbside protected bikeways 👏

We need a connected network of curbside protected bikeways!

[Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @LukeBornheimer]

It’s official—the SFMTA Board approved the curbside bikeway design, replacing the center bikeway 👏

"I’m happy and proud to see SFMTA proposing to replace the center bikeway with curbside bikeways today.”

Thanks to @StreetsblogSF for covering this story! https://t.co/gq2Oogj9pN

SFMTA’s proposal to replace the Valencia Street center bikeway with curbside bikeways is a huge victory for @StreetsForward’s grassroots campaign for curbside protected bikeways 👏

Thank you to the 1,400+ San Franciscans who supported the @BetterValencia campaign—you did this 🙏

[Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @LukeBornheimer]

Infrastructure improvements—like a connected network of protected bike lanes and low-car-volume streets—and policies—like an e-bike incentive program and low-cost bikeshare—would result in a significant number of people shifting trips from cars to bikes.https://t.co/JsXoUOAyxP

[Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @LukeBornheimer]

SFMTA is finally going to replace the Valencia center bikeway with curbside bikeways, thanks in part to the grassroots campaign—@BetterValencia—that I started 18+ months and over 1,000 people supported in less than a month.

This took long, but I’m glad to see it finally planned.

Please support curbside bikeways for Valencia Street by signing the petition at https://t.co/j5jBzWt2lv — it only takes a few taps and less than a minute, and it makes a difference!

Curbside protected bikeways will increase revenue for local businesses and decrease car traffic.

[Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @LukeBornheimer]

People biking on Valencia Street decreased 2% after the center bikeway was installed.

By comparison, people biking on Valencia between Market and 15th Streets increased 49% after curbside protected bikeways were installed there in 2019.

👍👍 Curbside bikeways
👎 Center bikeways

[Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @LukeBornheimer]

The Valencia center bikeway will continue to injury people and put many more people in harm’s way because the design is fundamentally flawed.

Mayor Breed and SFMTA should replace the center bikeway with curbside bikeways immediately.
