Electing a Bike-Friendly Mayor & Yes on B!
Bike the Vote Victory! We are thrilled to report that Proposition B passed with 68% of the vote, meaning tens of millions of dollars are headed toward new bikeways and hundreds of millions toward repaving bike routes. Thanks for your help in biking the vote for this critical initiative.
Thanks to the passage of Prop B, we'll see safer, smoother streets in the coming years, and an increase in funding for bikeways and other great projects.
Congratulations to Ed Lee, who was elected Mayor after eleven rounds of instant run-off voting. We're declaring a big victory for biking with all three of our endorsed mayoral candidates finishing in the top few spots. This year's field of San Francisco mayoral candidates was the most bike-friendly in the city's history
-- we're thrilled to see that the vast majority of candidates recognized the growing importance of building complete, crosstown bikeways that connect our neighborhoods and make it easier and more welcoming for people ages 8 to 80 to ride a bicycle in our city. We appreciate so many candidates' commitments to making our city more accessible, affordable, and family-friendly by improving and increasing bicycling in San Francisco, and we look forward to continuing to work with these leaders in the coming years towards a truly great biking city for everyone.
