We agree with much of @aarieff.bsky.social's opinion piece in @sfchronicle.com about Market Street's unmet potential. We'd add that improving the active transportation experience for people who ride bikes and scooters is the critical first step to creating places that people want to go, and linger!

S.F. has been trying to fix Market Street since 1962. Here’s why nothing has worked
OPINION: San Francisco has been trying to fix Market Street since 1962. It’s still a mess. More of us should be asking what’s taking so long.

"The neighborways were supposed to offer a network of slow, calm streets for pedestrians and cyclists. But without a completed network, the sole finished project, on Ortega Street, has failed to make much of a difference." From @junyaoyang.bsky.social on @missionlocal.org
missionlocal.org
S.F. promised to slow cars on eight Sunset streets. Five years later, only one is done.
Without a network, it is unclear if one street can make a difference to make streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

We're biased, but we can't think of a better way to roll into matrimony than on bikes, surrounded by friends on bikes! We were honored to play a small part in making Deb and Matt's wedding day special. Congratulations, you two!

They wanted an all-bike S.F. wedding. But what about 95-year-old Grandma Meryl?
Debs Schrimmer and Matt Redmond had an unusual wedding request: They wanted every guest to ride to the reception on a bicycle through Golden Gate Park. Here’s how it went.

Potential cuts to San Francisco’s public transit system would be significantly worse for the city’s economy than the effects of a proposed parcel tax to fund it, according to a new analysis from the controller's office. via @kellywaldron.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/09/san-...

Thoughtful piece from former Sunset District Supervisor Gordon Mar in the @sfchronicle.com: "There is still room for compromise — not necessarily over whether cars return to the Great Highway, but over how we make Sunset Dunes work better for the entire west side."

OPINION: “In a political culture that increasingly demands that we choose a side and never waver, I hope there is still room for another possibility,” Gordon Mar writes.
