45 Bike Network Projects Get a Green Light!
Fantastic news — the Municipal Transportation Agency adopted the 2009 SF Bicycle Plan and gave legislative approval to 45 Bike Network improvement projects at their meeting on June 26, 2009. See the list below to learn which projects got the green light and which are left to bring forward.
After years of planning and outreach and public hearings and organizing, the SFBC's astounding members got it done, congratulations all around! See our Bike Plan page for more on what's next...
The SFBC is asking all members and interested parties to submit photos of the approved bike projects before construction begins so we can track the historic success and positive impacts of each of these projects. Members are asked to take high-resolution photos similar to the photo below and submit them to the New SF Bike Lanes flickr pool or email them to marc at sfbike dot org!  The list of projects and their boundaries are listed below. If you have any questions, please email or call Marc Caswell at 415-431-2453 x302
