People should be able to get to their destination along a network of safe and reliable routes and lanes. As a mom in a multimodal family, my vision includes a network that resolves existing conflicts and supports all people on their daily needs to work, shop, play and make family trips, no matter their mode of choice.
However, we need a holistic approach to mobility planning that engages all users. Meetings should be held with all impacted parties, and SFMTA should be responsible for outreach, not outsource it to a neighborhood group, so that there can be trust and transparency.
The Biking and Rolling Plan, however, must be reviewed in conjunction with all other modes of transportation and streetscaping to ensure a holistic approach. Biking should not be presented or implemented in a vacuum or piecemeal.
Second, outreach must be simpler and more effective; the recent North Beach meeting evidenced that residents feel overrun by the current methods, a missed opportunity to garner support and participation for what should be joyful city improvement.
