Stop by our member meeting tomorrow (Monday) to learn about the City’s expanding SFPark program. Lauren Mattern and Mariana Pareiras of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) will be presenting on SFPark’s expansion into the Mission Bay and 17th & Folsom neighborhoods.
Studies have shown that, in some cities, as much as 30 percent of city traffic is caused by drivers circling for parking. This extra traffic slows our buses to a crawl and pollutes the air. Even worse, some drivers give up and double-park, completely blocking transit routes, not to mention emergency vehicles. The drivers who continue to circle, ever more frustrated and distracted, run the risk of hitting a walker or cyclist.
SFPark is a new program that uses technology to solve these problems. For a video animation on how SFPark works, visit http://sfpark.org/about-
At the upcoming meeting, SFTRU members will vote on whether to endorse the Mission Bay and 17th & Folsom expansion of SFPark, already endorsed by Livable City and the SF Bike Coalition. Read more about the Mission Bay proposal at http://sfpark.org/
We are a new but growing organization, and we hope you can attend Monday’s meeting to help us advocate for better transit in San Francisco. If you can’t attend, you may also support our advocacy by making a donation or becoming a member. However you help out, we really appreciate your support.
