Popularity of pedestrians and san franciscans, visitors attracted to the San Francisco waterfront on the embarcadaro. I think for many in the public, they come to the promenade and see that as this grand boulevard sidewalk along the water side of the properties, and they consider the sidewalk and they are surprised and conflicted by the fact that it is a shared facility with bike access and other wheeled vehicles that share access to that promenade.

And the port has never changed the formal status of the embarcadaro promenade so that even though it reads as a sidewalk, it really still has those functions. While we do have class 2 bike lanes

While we do have class 2 bike lanes on the east and the west sides of the embarcadaro, i think the popularity of bicycling and the success of the citys transit first policy and our efforts to advance alternate transportation modes is such
