San Francisco Takes a Step Back From Raised Bike Lanes
Sometimes they just can’t prevent cars from parking in the pathway.
In the battle of cars versus raised bike lanes, the cars just won a small battle in San Francisco.
The city had planned on installing a two-inch raised, mountable lane on a section of Polk Street, where, on average, cars hit one cyclist and one pedestrian every month. But now it’s scrapped that plan in favor of a more traditional lane, which will be protected with soft-hit posts.
