scott f<p>Getting there! More to be done on Valencia, but soon we'll at least have decent bike lanes for most of the street.

scott f<p>Barriers to SF pedestrianizing (non-park) streets all over like Paris:<br>1. Driveways everywhere. Lack of back alleys like some cities have (not sure about Paris)<br>2. Alternatives to driving not improving fast enough<br> a. Transit service levels continuing longterm decline<br> b. Bike infra expansion slow, piecemeal<br>3. Politics around funding: the most carbrained 34% of voters can sink a bond.

scott f<p>The Green Connections Network, from a 2014 plan that hasn't been funded or implemented. These were to be both comfortable and all-ages appropriate walking and bicycling routes, and also greening projects benefiting ecology.

scott f<p>Evans eastbound bike lane is shut down for a couple blocks approaching Phelps for a construction project. But it was chill because the Honda driver behind me was chill about it.
