As many cyclists already know, riding down Valencia Street is one of the smoothest rides in the city because the traffic signals are timed to bicycle-friendly speeds.
This was deliberately and is know by the city as “green waves.” Valencia and 14th streets are the only known green wave installations in the city, but that’s about the change as the city is prepared to roll out five more projects throughout the city by next March, according to SF Streetsblog. Two of them will be in the Mission: one on Potrero Avenue, from Alameda to 25th streets, and another one on Folsom Street, from 15th to 24th streets.
Folsom Street and Potrero Avenue are also set to undergo major changes, which include resurfacing the street and adding pedestrian and other traffic calming methods.
Perhaps the cyclist morons will now get off the sidewalks.
Folsom and Potrero continue to be calmed while South Van Ness gets nothing to slow the dangerous traffic patterns….hello more accidents on South Van Ness.
MTA….throw South Van Ness Ave a bone
Agreed.
