Designed by noted UC Berkeley urban planning professor Allan Jacobs, it opened in 2005 to wide acclaim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the leafy boulevard has brought its own problems. Clogged with cars rushing to get on and off Highway 101, the corner of Octavia Boulevard and Market Street has become the city’s most dangerous intersection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the past three years, there have been 30 crashes causing injuries at that corner, more than any other San Francisco intersection, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://bayc.it/dJuo/\">recent report\u003c/a> by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. With a heavily used bike lane on Market Street, the intersection also has seen the \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/bikes/story/intersection-biking-hell/\">most bike crashes\u003c/a> in the city during that time, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/data/bike-accidents/\">The Bay Citizen Bike Accident Tracker\u003c/a>. Last year, nine of the 13 injury crashes involved cyclists. \u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nOn a recent afternoon, Foss, 55, was seated at the Mercury Cafe on Octavia, three blocks up from Market Street. The cafe was filled with the neighborhood’s new residents: young professionals tapping away on MacBooks and smartphones. While the boulevard helped rejuvenate the area, Foss said, it also brought heavy street traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to be very careful crossing the street here,” said Foss, who appeared in “Vegas in Space,” a 1991 film about three spacemen who must become women to carry out a secret mission. “You can’t just cross because you have a white man (on the traffic signal) telling you to cross.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Octavia Boulevard is one of the major arrival and departure points for long-distance commuters. The most recent traffic count by the SFMTA in 2007 showed 63,000 vehicles heading on and off the freeway there each day. That is fewer than the 90,000 that used the old Central Freeway, but the Hayes Valley neighborhood is jammed with cars much of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the boulevard opened in 2005, there have been 56 crashes with injuries at Octavia and Market. Four of the accidents on Octavia have been fatal accidents, according to the California Highway Patrol and news reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, city and county officials are acknowledging that the once-visionary street plan is in need of improvement to reduce high levels of congestion and the number of collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a great job on the urban design and on the land-use planning, and the neighborhood responded,” said Tilly Chang, deputy director for planning at the San Francisco County Transportation Authority. “For the most part, it met the objectives, but it didn’t get all the way. We still have a ways to go on the pedestrian, bike and transit network.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcta.org/images/stories/Executive/Meetings/board/2012/09sep/CFWY%20Final%20Report%20ENCLOSURE.pdf\">recent study [PDF]\u003c/a>, the transportation authority found that high levels of traffic still stifle the neighborhood. It also found that crosswalks were either closed or dangerous for pedestrians because of cars getting in the way. The study recommends improving bikeways and crosswalks and reducing car traffic by updating public transit and using congestion pricing, a system of electronic tolls for crowded streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reconstruction of Octavia Boulevard was the culmination of a lengthy battle to tear down the segment of the Central Freeway. After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake damaged the freeway and voters weighed in on several ballot measures, the plan for the boulevard finally was approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacobs, the renowned designer, told The Bay Citizen that the project was successful in replacing a freeway with a boulevard that moves cars while at the same time creating street life. But he said some design elements that would have slowed traffic were left out in the end because of compromises with the state Department of Transportation and the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenge at the time was “how to get fast-moving traffic through as best and safely as possible, but at the same time allowing for low-speed traffic and good street life,” Jacobs said. To do that, he designed the four-lane boulevard with two local side streets running parallel for local traffic and cyclists. Trees were planted and a now well-used park was built at the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jacobs also said the initial design sought to slow traffic more before it came off the freeway by narrowing the lanes and building a slightly uphill approach. He also wanted to use different paving materials and narrow the side streets to signal to drivers that they were entering a neighborhood. None of these features were incorporated into the project, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Octavia Boulevard itself is a major success as a street,” Jacobs said. “That isn’t to say that there weren’t things that could’ve been done better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of bike accidents at Octavia and Market over the past three years were caused by drivers making illegal right turns onto the freeway from Market Street. The city has installed new signs and medians to prevent illegal turns from Market onto the freeway, but the problem persists. Bike advocates want a camera installed at the intersection to catch offending motorists, but a question over whether such cameras are legal on state highways has held up the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, has been urging Attorney General Kamala Harris to issue an opinion that could pave the way for the camera to be installed. An Ammiano aide told The Bay Citizen this week that a legal opinion has been drafted and edited and is awaiting Harris’ signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would help,” said Leah Shahum, executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. “We know police officers can’t be there 24/7, and the city has tried a lot of engineering improvements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robin Levitt, a Hayes Valley architect who helped lead the fight to take down the freeway, said the boulevard helped transform the neighborhood but is in need of serious fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Generally, I think Octavia Boulevard works well, but the interface with other intersections is problematic and was never really thought through when it was done,” Levitt said. “Those are issues that still haven’t been resolved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Designed by noted UC Berkeley urban planning professor Allan Jacobs, it opened in 2005 to wide acclaim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the leafy boulevard has brought its own problems. Clogged with cars rushing to get on and off Highway 101, the corner of Octavia Boulevard and Market Street has become the city’s most dangerous intersection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the past three years, there have been 30 crashes causing injuries at that corner, more than any other San Francisco intersection, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://bayc.it/dJuo/\">recent report\u003c/a> by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. With a heavily used bike lane on Market Street, the intersection also has seen the \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/bikes/story/intersection-biking-hell/\">most bike crashes\u003c/a> in the city during that time, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/data/bike-accidents/\">The Bay Citizen Bike Accident Tracker\u003c/a>. Last year, nine of the 13 injury crashes involved cyclists. \u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nOn a recent afternoon, Foss, 55, was seated at the Mercury Cafe on Octavia, three blocks up from Market Street. The cafe was filled with the neighborhood’s new residents: young professionals tapping away on MacBooks and smartphones. While the boulevard helped rejuvenate the area, Foss said, it also brought heavy street traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The most recent traffic count by the SFMTA in 2007 showed 63,000 vehicles heading on and off the freeway there each day. That is fewer than the 90,000 that used the old Central Freeway, but the Hayes Valley neighborhood is jammed with cars much of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the boulevard opened in 2005, there have been 56 crashes with injuries at Octavia and Market. Four of the accidents on Octavia have been fatal accidents, according to the California Highway Patrol and news reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, city and county officials are acknowledging that the once-visionary street plan is in need of improvement to reduce high levels of congestion and the number of collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a great job on the urban design and on the land-use planning, and the neighborhood responded,” said Tilly Chang, deputy director for planning at the San Francisco County Transportation Authority. “For the most part, it met the objectives, but it didn’t get all the way. We still have a ways to go on the pedestrian, bike and transit network.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcta.org/images/stories/Executive/Meetings/board/2012/09sep/CFWY%20Final%20Report%20ENCLOSURE.pdf\">recent study [PDF]\u003c/a>, the transportation authority found that high levels of traffic still stifle the neighborhood. It also found that crosswalks were either closed or dangerous for pedestrians because of cars getting in the way. The study recommends improving bikeways and crosswalks and reducing car traffic by updating public transit and using congestion pricing, a system of electronic tolls for crowded streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reconstruction of Octavia Boulevard was the culmination of a lengthy battle to tear down the segment of the Central Freeway. After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake damaged the freeway and voters weighed in on several ballot measures, the plan for the boulevard finally was approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacobs, the renowned designer, told The Bay Citizen that the project was successful in replacing a freeway with a boulevard that moves cars while at the same time creating street life. But he said some design elements that would have slowed traffic were left out in the end because of compromises with the state Department of Transportation and the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenge at the time was “how to get fast-moving traffic through as best and safely as possible, but at the same time allowing for low-speed traffic and good street life,” Jacobs said. To do that, he designed the four-lane boulevard with two local side streets running parallel for local traffic and cyclists. Trees were planted and a now well-used park was built at the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jacobs also said the initial design sought to slow traffic more before it came off the freeway by narrowing the lanes and building a slightly uphill approach. He also wanted to use different paving materials and narrow the side streets to signal to drivers that they were entering a neighborhood. None of these features were incorporated into the project, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Octavia Boulevard itself is a major success as a street,” Jacobs said. “That isn’t to say that there weren’t things that could’ve been done better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of bike accidents at Octavia and Market over the past three years were caused by drivers making illegal right turns onto the freeway from Market Street. The city has installed new signs and medians to prevent illegal turns from Market onto the freeway, but the problem persists. Bike advocates want a camera installed at the intersection to catch offending motorists, but a question over whether such cameras are legal on state highways has held up the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, has been urging Attorney General Kamala Harris to issue an opinion that could pave the way for the camera to be installed. An Ammiano aide told The Bay Citizen this week that a legal opinion has been drafted and edited and is awaiting Harris’ signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would help,” said Leah Shahum, executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. “We know police officers can’t be there 24/7, and the city has tried a lot of engineering improvements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robin Levitt, a Hayes Valley architect who helped lead the fight to take down the freeway, said the boulevard helped transform the neighborhood but is in need of serious fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Generally, I think Octavia Boulevard works well, but the interface with other intersections is problematic and was never really thought through when it was done,” Levitt said. “Those are issues that still haven’t been resolved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The programs enable people in dense urban areas to get from point A to point B by bike whenever they please.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area bikeshare programs will cost money to join, and you won’t be able to bring the bikes between the cities, only to locations within each city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the status of the program?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A vendor is expected to be chosen by May and a staggered rollout will occur in August. There are a few different vendors in this space, but it’s anyone’s guess who the top candidates are. In the spring we’ll know what the bikes will look like, how the payment systems will work and other details. Right now they’re evaluating locations for the stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would the system work?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You will be able to sign up for a membership for a day, week, month or year. Typically the memberships are tied to a credit card, so you’ll slide your card, unlock the bike, ride it and drop it off at any station within the system. I know they’re also looking at giving users an option to pay without a credit card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So it’ll work like City CarShare? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s similar but not the same. With City CarShare you have to drop off the car at the same place you pick it up. In a bikeshare program, it’s about making any trip on a whim from Point A to Point B, where you can leave it at point B.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The barriers to getting your own bike are pretty low. What do you think the demand for a program like this will be like? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regional network is centered around Caltrain stations so that commuters will be able to use the bikes for the first and last miles of their trips. A lot of times, for whatever reason, people don’t want to bring their bikes aboard Caltrain, so they have to walk or take transit on one or both ends of the trip.

People who otherwise would not have considered riding a bike will ride one. Or they’re downtown and haven’t brought it with them, they see it on the street very visibly as an option and they’re more likely to ride it. You might be in downtown San Francisco and get off BART, and there’s some place you want to get to within a mile, but taking transit or walking would take too long. These bikes will make it a lot easier to make that short trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, the bikes are designed to be much safer, more comfortable and easier to use than the bikes most people have. If you can’t bring your bike into your workplace, many people don’t want to risk leaving it locked outside.

San Francisco wanted to launch one around 2009 in a public-private partnership with Clear Channel, which backed out. That system was criticized as being too small; it would have had just 50 bikes. You need a critical mass to be successful, and the program in San Francisco will have 500 bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Clara VTA was also going to launch one in 2010, but the cities got together and VTA decided to integrate their system into a regionwide one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where will San Francisco’s bike stations be? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The preliminary map of proposed stations shows them primarily in downtown San Francisco.

The programs enable people in dense urban areas to get from point A to point B by bike whenever they please.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area bikeshare programs will cost money to join, and you won’t be able to bring the bikes between the cities, only to locations within each city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the status of the program?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A vendor is expected to be chosen by May and a staggered rollout will occur in August. There are a few different vendors in this space, but it’s anyone’s guess who the top candidates are. In the spring we’ll know what the bikes will look like, how the payment systems will work and other details. Right now they’re evaluating locations for the stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would the system work?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You will be able to sign up for a membership for a day, week, month or year. Typically the memberships are tied to a credit card, so you’ll slide your card, unlock the bike, ride it and drop it off at any station within the system. I know they’re also looking at giving users an option to pay without a credit card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So it’ll work like City CarShare? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s similar but not the same. With City CarShare you have to drop off the car at the same place you pick it up. In a bikeshare program, it’s about making any trip on a whim from Point A to Point B, where you can leave it at point B.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The barriers to getting your own bike are pretty low. What do you think the demand for a program like this will be like? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regional network is centered around Caltrain stations so that commuters will be able to use the bikes for the first and last miles of their trips. A lot of times, for whatever reason, people don’t want to bring their bikes aboard Caltrain, so they have to walk or take transit on one or both ends of the trip. They won’t have to do that with bikeshare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they’ve found in other cities is that these programs increase cycling overall. People who otherwise would not have considered riding a bike will ride one.

It does demand two wheels, legs, lungs, fair reflexes, working brakes, lights if it’s dark, a little patience, a love of the wind in your face, a sense of humor, a fondness of camaraderie, a sense of adventure, tolerance of the unexpected, occasional tact and diplomacy, and joy in exploring new surroundings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bike to Work Day–also known as today, May 12, 2011 CE–is a little less high-flown than the above description.
