SF D6 supervisor Matt Dorsey voted for this. He brags about riding bikeshare while taking away bike access for others.
In case you missed it, here is my post on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge multiuse path, which will be closed Monday-Thursday starting sometime this month thanks to the work of @mtcbata.bsky.social and Caltrans.

Everyone has a take on the Engardio recall... here's mine. The recall doesn't mean mode shift and car-free spaces are disastrously unpopular, but it does mean urbanists in SF should rethink the strategy of being in coalition with moderates/conservatives.

Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back.

Gov Newsom still hasn't signed the $750m loan to Bay Area transit agencies that would get us to the Nov 2026 funding votes. He has eight days to act.
Please take a moment to call his office at (916) 445-2841 and use the attached script, copied from a @transbaycoalition.bsky.social.

Lurie allowing Waymo/Uber onto Market while cutting Muni service for 240,000 daily riders is despicable, and keeps anyone without tons of wealth out of downtown.
We will not let the Mayor and his corporate buddies create an SF for the wealthy only.

Astonishing to hear several BCDC commissioners state that:
Ending 24/7 bike/walk access to Richmond San Rafael Bridge curtails maximum public access to the Bay,
AND that such a move is unprecedented,
BUT they still plan to curtail access.
Why? The purpose of BCDC is to protect & expand access.
