"To help improve street safety, SFMTA is planning to expand the city's bike lane network. In 2025 the agency adopted a " Biking and Rolling Plan " that aims to have a bike lane within a quarter mile of every San Francisco home."
"Some neighborhoods in District 2 have decent bike lane options, including the Presidio, North of the Panhandle, Western Addition, Anza Vista, and Presidio Heights. But bike lane deserts remain, particularly in the Marina, Pac Heights, and Cow Hollow. Those neighborhoods have few east-west bike lanes, and the north-south bike lanes are far to the west on Arguello or far to the east on Polk. The Webster bike lane currently does not continue north after Bush Street."
"New bike lanes may not be welcomed by everyone. Neighbors and businesses sometimes oppose them because of concerns about parking, traffic flow, and customer access to storefronts."
"This week's question: Do you support expanding the bike lane network in District 2? If so, where would you like to see new bike lanes? I support safe and thoughtfully designed bike infrastructure where"
San Francisco residents bike across the city despite steep hills, but safety depends on how well cyclists can share roads with cars. SFMTA plans to expand the bike lane network to improve street safety. A 2025 Biking and Rolling Plan targets a bike lane within a quarter mile of every home. District 2 includes neighborhoods such as the Presidio, Marina, Cow Hollow, Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Anza Vista, and parts of the Western Addition and North of the Panhandle. Some areas have relatively good bike lane access, while bike lane deserts remain in the Marina, Pacific Heights, and Cow Hollow due to limited east-west routes and distant north-south options. Proposed lanes can face opposition over parking, traffic flow, and storefront access.
