While BART ground to a halt this morning due to "ice", hard-working @SFMTA_Muni crews were on Battery St installing the Financial District's very first protected bike lanes. The new lanes will be open for use in the next few weeks!

Less than 72 hours after our Board’s decision on Slow Streets, our crews were on Lake Street installing new materials. That work concluded today.

In addition to being potential hazards (not predictable, not retro-reflective, etc), the materials only further the division of the Lake St community, directly counter to the community-centered purpose of Slow Streets 7/

We are excited to finish the initial design for Lake in the next few days, and look forward to working with the Lake St community in 2023 to refine the design details and messaging campaign, and bring synthesis to the last 2 years of division. END
