Polk
In 2018, the city and SFMTA completed its “Polk Streetscape Project,” adding a southbound painted bike lane south of Union and a painted bike lane “protected” by plastic posts between McAllister and Pine. These bike lanes leave much of this critical north-south corridor out and, where they are not protected, frequently see cars crossing and driving in them.
In April 2022 we organized a People Protected Bike Lane to bring attention to this problem: we took bike lane protection into our own hands by becoming the barrier between cars and cyclists.
We went out today and @PeopleProtected the Polk bike lane. Especially when it's cold and raining and miserable, the bikers of the city need safe and protected infrastructure.
