luke bornheimer i'll keep my comments focused on valencia street. i am disappointed to see the agency investing more time and energy on the center bikeway design that has resulted in many more people crashing and being injured and may have also resulted in businesses getting less business. there is a mountain of data that shows that curbside protected bike lanes as well as pedestrianization of a street would greatly benefit businesses if we were a visionary city with a mayor who had a vision, we would be installing one of those things and addressing the business needs. making the streets safer for people and helping our businesses recover. so i continue to be disappointed that the agency hasn't created a design for curbside protected bike lanes or pedestrianization. they've only created just simple mocks and as a result, agency staff have continued to tell the public that if the current center bikeway was removed that we would have to go back to paint only unprotected bike lanes, which of course nobody wants this. this lack of an alternative design

luke bornheimer urge you to direct staff to create a complete design for curbside protected bike lanesfor valencia street between 15th and 19th streets and update the design from 2020 for between 19th and cesar chavez streets, then immediately install that design on valencia in order to make valencia better for business and safer for people. i understand the concerns of merchants who want more business and revenue and want to see valencia be a more vibrant destination. the center bikeway is a counterintuitive and dangerous design that sandwiches people between two lanes of driving cars and trucks and makes it more difficult for people on bikes and scooters to stop at businesses as curbside protected bike lanes like those installed on valencia between market and 15th streets are proven to be better for business use after the installation of curbside protected bike lanes on various streets in new york city, there was a 49% increase in retail sales and 49% fewer commercial vacancies. curbside protected bike lanes are better for business. curbside protected bike lanes also increase safety
