@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 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.

Great question and point! Yes, there will be plastic soft-hit posts in the “buffer” between the bikeway and driving lanes. Full design at www.sfmta.com/media/41021/.... There should be concrete separating the bikeway—and protecting people on bikes—but this is all the City was willing to do for now.

Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @lukebornheimer.com · 26/02/2025
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.

Streets Forward statement on Valencia Street Curbside Bikeway Construction
010
Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @lukebornheimer.com · 19/02/2025
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.

Streets Forward statement on SFMTA’s plan to not expand parking meter hours to fund Muni
010
Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @lukebornheimer.com · 14/02/2025
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.

Streets Forward statement on SFMTA’s decision not to enforce daylighting policy
010
Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @lukebornheimer.com · 11/02/2025
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.
