New bike lanes are about to go up in one of the busiest corridors in San Francisco, but instead of traditional bike lanes on the right of traffic, these lanes will go right down the middle of Valencia Street in the city's Mission District.
The new bike lanes are going to begin at the intersection of 15th Street and Valencia and continue south for eight blocks all the way to Valencia and 23rd. This is a pilot program that will last at least a year.
"I use this bike to get around to the store, to work, anywhere I'm going, to restaurants, almost every day," said Ofiesh, adding she loves how convenient biking is, not to mention it's also just fun.But San Francisco is a busy town. Cars, buses, streetcars, and pedestrians; they all have to share the road with cyclists and that can cause some issues.
He says the project will not only help cyclists but also pedestrians because after the center bike lanes go in cars will no longer be allowed to turn left. "You know at the intersections when a car needs to turn left or a cyclist needs to turn right, like what does that traffic pattern look like, and is everyone ready for that at every single intersection?" said Ofiesh."The other thing I worry about with the center bike lanes is you've got cyclists coming at each other without much margin for error and you know we're not encased in steel boxes, we're just on our bikes.
