โSan Francisco launched Slow Streetsโa program that limits car traffic and speeds on 30 corridors to make them more pedestrian- and bike-friendly. Slow Streets saw a 50% reduction in car traffic, a 17% increase in pedestrians and a 65% jump in bike trafficโbbc.com/travel/articleโฆ
Sunset Mercantile is a hub for all community members. We are amazed how much time, effort and love goes into its production. It's a vital Westside space.
Read the headlines, and youโd think banning cars from 2.5km of San Franciscoโs Golden Gate Park was divisive and controversial.
Visit JFK Promenade and see the number and diversity of people enjoying this space, and youโd wonder what took so long and what all the fuss was about.
Supervisor Mar requested that RPD open Great Highway Park to people at the start of the pandemic and has now created legislation to make the Park extend to December 2025 while a public process is carried out.

ๆ @EdwardWrightSF Thank you for your leadership on this! ๐๐ป
Millions of visits to the Great Highway promenade have shown its value for community & civic action, active transportation, & joy.
The weekend promenade has been largely successful โ so Iโve introduced legislation to keep it while we study the road use.

Thanks to KQED for covering the devastating ballot measure that will eliminate #JFKPromenade and #GreatHighwayPark , along with their beneficial effects, notably:
1๏ธโฃ Safe public open space for kids, seniors, and people with disabilities
2๏ธโฃ Directly addressing climate change

โWe can [โฆ] try to satisfy an insatiable desire to be able to drive everywhere...or we can see that this is creating a positive community resource and is helping our city move toward climate, sustainability and safety goals.โ

โAs the design is proposed, Slow Lake as a community space would no longer existโฆI think it sets a dangerous precedent for SFMTA and the city more broadly.โ -Luke Bornheimer #YesOnJ #NoOnI ๐จโ๐ง๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ด๐ผโโ๏ธ Community Spaces SF
