San Francisco's Vision Zero efforts—to eliminate roadway fatalities and severe injuries—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.

The recent car crashes that destroyed two businesses’ parklets highlight the negative impacts of cars on our city and the need for policy and infrastructure to help people shift trips from cars to bikes and public transit as well as physical infrastructure to protect parklets.

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.

SFMTA’s plan to not expand parking meter hours in the evening and on Sundays is disastrous and inequitable, and runs counter to the goals and policies SFMTA and the City claim to prioritize. SFMTA must expand parking meter hours to fund Muni and other transportation improvements.

SFMTA should be making daylighting intuitive by installing bike corrals, bikeshare stations, planters or benches in daylighting spaces. In the meantime, ignoring state law and allowing cars to be store within 20 feet of crosswalks decrease public safety. We need leadership now.

The California Coastal Commission approved the permit authorizing the closure of Upper Great Highway to private car traffic (aka converting the space into a park and public outdoor recreation space)! This is a massive step towards the creation a new, full-time oceanfront park 👏

San Francisco is required by state law to prohibit parking a car within 20 feet of a crosswalk. But—instead of following state law—the City is delaying implementation and proposing to paint 10,000+ curbs. The City should install physical infrastructure in these spaces instead.

Great Highway Park opponents said, “Put it to the voters…let the voters decide,” but changed their mind when the voters overwhelmingly voted to transform Upper Great Highway into a full-time, oceanfront park by approving Prop K. The voters have spoken—it’s time to move forward.
