Dear SFMTA Board and Mayor Breed,
I love Slow Lake street because it allows me to:
[ ].
Leaders in world class cities like Paris, Barcelona and New York City are listening to the people. We want a greener city, more transit options and safer streets for our most vulnerable citizens. The road to achieve a livable city where people and communities are prioritized over cars was not easy. It took bold leadership and fortitude to stand up for what is right. We are now at a crossroads. Will you lead or default to the status quo?
Over the last two years we have seen Slow Streets and community spaces transform San Francisco. Slow Lake is one of the most active streets connecting commuters from the West to East side. On any given day, you will see children independently biking to schools and afterschool activities, people all over the Richmond district and beyond biking to Clement or Geary to run errands and tourists biking in groups to see our beautiful attractions on the west side: Baker Beach, Lands End, the Presidio and The Legion of Honor.
We ask you to keep Lake Street slow so we can continue to build on the network of slow streets connecting all neighborhoods for our most vulnerable road users, our children, the elderly and people traveling without cars.
Keep Lake street a permanent Slow Street
Implement the purple sign treatments immediately.
Implement designs to prevent cut through traffic.
Respectfully,
[ ] District [ ]
