The project for a separated bikeway on JFK Drive moves forward, and the city is looking at options for creating 1.5 miles of separated bikeway that feels safe and comfortable for everyone. The SFMTA and Rec and Parks Department hosted a workshop in June - you can see some photos, and read a summary of the information presented here. And please take the SFMTA's survey on the proposed options here. Mark your calendar for August 16th, 630pm - 8pm at the County Fair Building for the 2nd workshop.
- Watch the latest Connecting the City video here, explaining the vision for 100 miles of crosstown bikeways for everyone.
