Though his identity isn’t known to us yet, our thoughts are with the person’s friends and family as they navigate this heartbreak, and our hearts are heavy today – no one should ever lose their lives while riding a bicycle on our city’s streets. Read our full statement 👇 sfbike.org/news/our-sta...

We look forward to sitting down with Supervisor Alcaraz and her staff along with our enthusiastic, dedicated members in her district to discuss the future of transportation and people-centered spaces in the Sunset.

To do that, she will need to work tirelessly to support the funding measures that will be on the ballot next year, and we are ready to support her in those efforts.

We agree with Supervisor Alcaraz that looking back will only cause divisiveness. We hope that, as someone who loves her district, she will be laser focused on ensuring the ongoing strength of our transit systems and championing vibrant, sustainable streets in the Sunset and the city at large.

As @kqednews.kqed.org reported last week, automated speed enforcement for reckless and dangerous driving is already effective -- an SFMTA study tracking speeds along 15 of the corridors where the cameras have been installed found an average 72% reduction in speeding. www.kqed.org/news/1205860...

Your legacy will live on as the vision of Sunset Dunes comes to fruition – it’s already the third most visited park in the City! Thank you for your bold leadership and we’ll see you in the park.

"[Since Market went car-free], injury crashes have dropped by 40%, and transit has improved speed and efficiency by 14%. It is actually helping people get downtown, which is supposedly the goal of [the Mayor's] action, but really it will be getting in the way of it."

"This is a step backwards. We share with the Mayor the desire to revive Market Street. The way to do that is to make it more welcoming and safe for people to walk, bike, and take transit. This takes us away from that goal."

"The Mayor wants to revitalize Market Street. Rather than generating new trips to these neighborhoods, the likelier outcome is that trips that would otherwise be made by sustainable transportation will be replaced by car trips. That’s not a policy success, it’s a failure."
