What if 17th Street became one of San Francisco's safest and most inviting east-west corridors for walking, biking, rolling, shopping, and connecting with neighbors?
Join Bikes! at UCSF for a conversation with Peter Belden and Steven Solomon, organizers of the Safer, Better 17th Street campaign, to learn about the vision for transforming 17th Street from Castro to Potrero Hill through the UCSF Mission Bay Campus.
The proposal builds on the City's recently adopted Biking and Rolling Plan and explores ideas including:
Protected bike lanes connecting Potrero Hill to the Castro
Safer crossings for people walking and rolling
Greener streets with trees, rain gardens, and public spaces
Better connections to BART, Caltrain, Muni, and neighborhood bike routes
A more vibrant commercial corridor that supports local businesses and neighborhood life
You'll also hear about early results from the protected bike lanes already installed on 17th Street in Potrero Hill, including increased bicycle use, improved pedestrian safety, fewer conflicts between road users, and little impact on vehicle traffic.
Whether you're a daily bike commuter, occasional rider, neighborhood resident, or simply interested in creating safer, more people-friendly streets, this is an opportunity to learn more and ask questions.
Show your support - we want to hear from you! Safer Better 17th Street Survey.
Hosted by: Bikes! at UCSF
Free and open to all UCSF staff, faculty, students, and the community.
