peter strauss, hiedi peterson, rowen, cindy baker, jordan wang. welcome back. good afternoon. peter strauss on the board of san francisco transit riders. i ve also been working on this for eight years. i hate to not be part of the chorus but we have a number of concerns, however, we do fully support the traffic changes and very much look forward to the quick build. we also support the separated bike lanes. however, we have a number of physical concerns primarily related to stops. we note that with respect to accessibility it only creates full accessibility by removing. take your hand off the mic. sorry. it only provides full accessibility by removing all of the non accessible stops. we re very concerned about the half mile spacing. according to the data provided by staff, speed still remain only seven and a half miles per hour or so and and seven miles an hour or so and travel savings are only one or two minutes which we don t feel justified the removal of all tho
one thing we re careful about is maintaining commercial look access so loading can occur on market street but we want to minimize conflicts with people biking on that sidewalk level bike lane. with the bike way, we determined that it s best if we retain the loading bay s concept like we have today where there s designated loading spaces on each block but we ve brought it up onto the sidewalk and created a flex zone and there s a cross section and this space is 16 feet wide and leaves enough space for commercial vehicles to get up onto the sidewalk on a one-foot curb. the commercial vehicles can pull over to the side and there s enough space for us to maintain a clear space to be bikes to get around the commercial vehicles. we want to minimize the times we have commercial vehicles crossing the bike space. and so we re pairing this design with commercial loading restrictions. so the morning when bikes are going downtown we have no loading on the south side of the street and sim
