Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined
As more urban green spaces go car-free, how does the world’s most-visited city park deal with a growing crush of bike and pedestrian traffic?

@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.

SFMTA could approve a citywide No Turn on Red policy if it wanted, and Mayor Lurie can direct SFMTA to propose it.

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.

What about doing next week’s show *in* the center bikeway before it’s replaced with curbside bikeways?
Theme the show around things in the center/middle (e.g. hot dogs, custard-filled cronuts)…?
