The Biking and Rolling Plan is a big opportunity for SF to adopt a bold vision for our streets.
But the current draft is falling short in key ways.
Great summary of how to move forward from @TrishGump and @zachlipton in @StreetsblogSF

Thanks @KidSafeSF for organizing this sweet family bike ride to celebrate the Frido Kahlo bike lane. My kids loved having a safe place to roll with a big group!!
Parents losing their minds over school driving mandates and the pure sadism of drop-off lines is a sleeper issue in urban planning/transit/housing, IMO. This will lead to change.
Please join us for the 4th annual Slow Hearst block party! Sat Aug 24, noon to 4, on Hearst between Congo and Detroit.

The Frida Kahlo safety project was just approved unanimously by the SFMTA Board!
Separated bike lane coming soon to connect Sunnyside and Ingleside 🥳
It’s great to see the agency proactively addressing safety in an area of the city that will soon see big population growth.
There is a great safety project in the works for Frida Kahlo Way, which would create a protected bike lane and speed up the 43 bus.
To do this, we need to remove 33 parking spaces on FKW, which @OfficialCCSF has protested.
But I wanted to know, are those spaces used now? 🧵
We urge City College to work with us to find a compromise that preserves the protected bike lane.
We also call upon city officials to quickly move forward with implementing the Frida Kahlo Quick Build.

The Frida Kahlo quick build has open for feedback since July 2023. It's an important link from Slow Hearst to Ocean Ave.
SFMTA already added parking back to the design to accommodate City College’s concerns. The project removes ~30 spots out of 3,000+ for CCSF—less than 1%!
It's especially disappointing since @OfficialCCSF just passed its own Green New Deal, a bold sustainability plan that aims to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.
CCSF has also committed to shifting trips out of cars and to walking/biking to help manage parking
We're disappointed that @OfficialCCSF is opposing common sense safety improvements for people who walk and bike in our neighborhood.
The Frida Kahlo Way Quick Build project would improve safety for everyone and help get people out of cars— making parking easier!
