After an ongoing, controversial stint in the center of the street, the Valencia bike lane is expected to be relocated back to the curbside soon, as shown in new designs presented in a community meeting on Monday afternoon.
“My concern about this is what is the plan when there’s broken glass or human feces?” said Jennifer, a Mission cyclist who said the above-mentioned situation happens to her almost everyday. “Like there’s no way to clean that up.” After the center bike lane pilot project, which received a lot of blame for impacting local businesses — the blame was— this time, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency has spoken to over half of the businesses and met with each of the 26 parklet owners along Valencia Street several times.
“It seems silly to me that we’re going to bulge out around parklets when we don’t even know if that parklet is going to be there forever,” said Joe Roybal, a neighbor. “Parking is one of those tradeoffs,” said SFMTA project manager Paul Stanis. “But flexibility in the street and a more predictable, more familiar layout is, to some people, the benefit” of the new design.
