There’s an SFMTA hearing today at City Hall, 10 AM, Room 416, to discuss the bike lanes, traffic calming, left hand turn pockets, and eliminating some left hand turns.
Expect the typical NIMBY and you-ruin-my-commute opposition. Why not swing by and give some counter arguments?
For some historical perspective:
1874: Precita Creek, future path of Army / Cesar Chavez, via David Rumsey (West is up). Serpentine Avenue — the old northern boundary of the Bernal Rancho – had yet to be straightened out. You see reference to the sewer they are about to put in — the one that is about to be replaced over the next few years.
And some of the efforts at widening Army St over the years in conjunction with the mid century highwayfication of SF.
1940, @ Harrison:
1962, between San Jose and Guerrero
I just want to be able to ride my bike down Cesar Chavez and not think I’m going to die, OK?
