It’s been one year since the Mayor announced changes to car-free Market Street. So what have we learned?
🚲 Bike traffic is up 25% from last year — demand for safer, people-centered streets is real.
🚗 But loopholes remain: Waymo, Uber, and Lyft Black trips are rare, yet private vehicles are increasingly misusing loading bays, double-parking, and pushing cyclists into bus lanes.
We were proud to testify that the answer isn’t to backtrack. Instead, it’s to build on what’s working. Our asks:
→ Close the commercial passenger vehicle loophole
→ Harden and protect the quick-build infrastructure
→ Test transit vehicles in center lanes to free up the curb
→ Re-evaluate separated bike infrastructure between 8th & Steuart
→ Invest in placemaking to make Market a corridor people want to be on
Thank you to our partners in the Keep Market Street Moving coalition: . Special appreciation to Supervisor for convening the hearing.
Market Street can be vibrant AND safe. We’ll keep fighting for both. Stay tuned for next steps.
