S.F EIR study finally released!
Don’t get too excited, it’s just a draft. Or get excited that we have something tangible to look at!
The S.F Environmental Impact Review has been 2.5 years in the making. It will add strength to the city’s Transit First Policy, which already states in Article 6: “Bicycling shall be promoted by encouraging safe streets for riding, convenient access to transit, bicycle lanes, and secure bicycle parking.”
S.F asks court to allow bike improvements
Why does the city have to ask permission to keep it citizens safe?
‘In 2006, the San Francisco Superior Court blocked the city from enacting any improvements intended to benefit cyclists without special permission.”
In April of 2008 the court granted the installation of a dedicated bike/pedestrian signal at the notoriously dangerous Fell and Masonic intersection.

Map of San Francisco’s Most Dangerous Intersections
San Francisco is full of narrow, busy, streets. Throw in buses,pedestrians, short light changes and the mix can turn deadly.
The San Francisco Chronicle recently published a map of San Francisco intersections that have a high Muni accident rate. The top three intersections with the highest rate of Muni accidents are:
1) 6th and Market Street/Taylor and Golden Gate
2) 3rd and Market Street/Kearny and Geary Street
3) 5th and Market Street
Take a look at this map mash up to see more intersections that Muni needs to start paying attention to.
