In February, the board directed us to investigate this possibility, and just four months later, we prepared a conceptual design... Assuming the board endorses it, we'll proceed with detailed design and outreach focused on residents and people who bike and walk, as well as continued outreach with merchants before a final vote this fall.
Because of the collision results, coupled with intense blowback from merchants, the decision was made to revive an old 2020 plan for curbside lanes... The bike lane will either have to bend around parklets or they will have to be moved over to make room.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition recently published its views on the two options for parklets: For members, the top three concerns about the conceptual design include unpredictable interactions with pedestrians crossing the bike lane to get to floating parklets and liability in the event of a collision between people on foot.
