Update: Advocates Resist Port's Latest Effort Against Bike Safety - Streetsblog San Francisco
Briefly

"Move the bicycle route from MLK and 2nd Street to MLK and 4th Street," said Aaron Wright of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union..."We're talking about a couple of blocks."
"We have a traffic safety crisis on our hands in Oakland, and we need to take all available actions to prevent further deaths and injuries, especially for pedestrians and others outside of cars," said George Spies with Traffic Violence Rapid Response..."If trucking is to be kept on any routes which intersect or overlay adopted bike and pedestrian plans, the solution is separated lanes and proper sidewalks, as is best practice in the traffic management profession."
"Years of community engagement established the Oakland Bike Plan with a protected bike network on Market Street, MLK Jr. Way, and 3rd Street to keep us safe from car and truck traffic," said advocate Bryan Culbertson..."with the ballpark no longer happening, it is the city's responsibility to revert to the existing and adopted bike plan to support the existing community."
