Slow down South Van as well. That street is over used and is more residential.

And this seems reasonable? Every street calmed exceptone is not a great solution as it forces one street to carry the load of the district.

Funny how those who wanted and got traffic slowed on Valencia have o problem suggesting people clog up South VanNess. NIMBYISM ALL THE WAY.

Not so keen on the glitter sidewalk and ugly low modern metal streetlights. A row of continuous plantings rather than an extra 3ft. of sidewalk width would have been nice. Glad for the bicycle oases if they happen.

i’m guessing this is why they asked all the property owners in the neighborhood to fix their sidewalks all of a sudden….

Has anyone considered the lock-up problems that “artistic” bike racks (re: those featured in this post) may create? I’m thinking specifically of the space between the standard posts of the “staple”-shaped rack. Baskets, pedals, handlebars, etc. may not fit against the “filled” staple shape (e.g., dancing skeletons), making it difficult to properly lock a bike.

I hope SF checks out the racks in Austin, TX. They are both cute and easy to lock-up more than one bike to:

Is it really such an issue to stop at stop lights?

15 MPH may be OK in the 16th to 18th st. area but further north it is a doesn’t work very. In any case, I think it is anti-synchronized there. One early morning I was driving north on Valencia without any other traffic; each time my light turned green the light at the next interesection turned red. I think if I drove 7.5 MPH I might have been able to hit the lights.

I agree. Close Valencia to all cars once & for all. Not needed.

cab drivers say that SVN is only North/South street in the Mission where the lights are syncronized
