The Valencia bike lane project serves as a cautionary example, with merchants reporting declining foot traffic and frustrated customers struggling with street access, wrote Prop. K proponents in a press release.
Reporting on tax revenue by Mission Local and the controller's office found that while Valencia corridor businesses were suffering, the bike lane was not responsible. "There is no statistical basis for linking the two," wrote the controller's office.
Proponents argue it will allow for a park, benefit the environment and provide economic opportunity for the area.
District 7 Supervisor Myrna Melgar, one of five supervisors who placed Prop. K on the ballot, said she was perplexed that the comparison to Valencia Street was a talking point at Wednesday's rally.
