On Tuesday, the center-running Valencia bike lane received a legal challenge from local merchants and applause from cyclists.
On Tuesday, the Valencia center bike lane received very different receptions before two city bodies — a legal challenge from merchants, and applause from cyclists.
The SFMTA board urged the project’s team to address some of those immediate safety concerns, like preventing illegal left turns and U-turns, and to continue working on a redesign that would replace the center line with two side-running ones. Those would be sandwiched between the sidewalk and parking spaces, so that cyclists would be separate from traffic by parked vehicles.
“The center running bike lanes are the best thing since sliced bread,” said Robin Leavitt. “Please keep them.”, released last week, found that cyclists had mixed opinions about the current safety barricades — plastic bollards and rubber curbs — and that most preferred side bike lanes. The most popular vision for Valencia Street was to make it free of cars altogether.
Still, a contingent of Valencia merchants are displeased, and a few have begun the legal process. The claims filed Tuesday are precursors to lawsuits, and the city has 45 days to address them before legal action can be taken. Businesses have also complained about lowered sales, but the agency did not present a conclusive evaluation to how the bike lane affected businesses during its first three months., Mission Local found that businesses along the Valencia Street corridor sold more goods from July to September, after the bike lane was constructed, compared to the same period the year prior.
