I really like car free market street. Even though I still share the road with trains, buses, and some cars. I never cycled on market before it was car free/ car reduced. I would like more streets designated like this.
I could see Valencia being pedestrianized, with expanded sidewalks, a multi use bike path, and maybe a one way 5 mph lane for daytime deliveries with bollards.
Valencia being more pedestrianized would be amazing.
Personally not too happy with the center bike lane, though I do have hopes it eventually turns into something better with the extension and adding of bollards once it actually opens.
Probably a hard sell for the community at large though, moreso than Market St.
Market is awesome now. I've started commuting on bike to Caltrain at 4th and King. I know we have bike lanes on 5th (admittedly I don't know how you'd do it otherwise), but that stretch from Market to King just feels sketchy. Especially with the highway on/off ramps. Every time there is someone running a red light to get onto 5th/Harrison or the cars are backed up getting into the highway so you have to swirve into the oncoming lane.
Lincoln out in the sunset. I know you can go through the park, but that’s got a ton of cars to. It’d be so nice to have an easy flattish bike or walking path.
