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 curbside bikeways on Valencia Street between 15th and 23rd are coming along and a huge improvement. Thanks to everyone who supported @StreetsForward.org's campaign for curbside bikeways! Want to make it safer and faster to bike in San Francisco? Sign up at StreetsForward.org

Your reminder that SFMTA prioritizes cars and driver convenience over people’s safety. SFMTA could approve a citywide No Turn on Red policy if it wanted, and Mayor Lurie can direct SFMTA to propose it. Support public safety and citywide No Turn on Red at NTORsf.com.

If you agree that more needs to be done to protect parklets—and people inside of them—or to help people shift trips from cars to bikes, public transportation, and other forms of sustainable transportation, follow @StreetsForward.org and sign up for updates at StreetsForward.org.

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.

We congratulate Director Kirschbaum on being named SFMTA’s permanent Director of Transportation and look forward to working with her to transform San Francisco’s streets and transportation system and help people shift trips from cars to bikes, public transit, and other sustainable transportation.

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.

Electric cars—and electric car chargers—will not solve the climate crisis nevermind our roadway safety crisis. To address our climate crisis and roadway safety crisis, we must help people shift trips from cars to bikes, public transportation and other sustainable transportation.

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! For more, follow @StreetsForward.org.

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 tinyurl.com/ValenciaCEQA — it takes less than 10 seconds!

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.

California is launching an e-bike incentive program with $3 million funding. By comparison, the State has given $1.5 billion in electric car rebates. Funding for e-bike incentives is abysmally low—we need more! Support funding for the SF E-Bike Incentive Program at actionnetwork.org/letters/ebike.

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.org’s petition. It was great speaking with @BikeTalk.bsky.social about this huge achievement 🙏

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.

Organizing for Great Highway Park over the past ~4 years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I’m forever grateful to the amazing people I met who have helped lead this effort ❤️ I’m continuing this work with @StreetsForward.bsky.social—please follow for updates! 🙏

With nearly all votes counted, it’s official: Proposition K passed 55% to 45%—a 10% margin!—and Upper Great Highway will be converted into a new, inclusive, accessible, and equitable oceanfront park 👏 Thank you to the leaders of the Yes on K campaign and everyone who voted Yes!

“Luke Bornheimer of @StreetsForward.bsky.social 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.”
