Sanchez Next-Gen Slow Street Project headed to public hearing
We have worked with the community to develop a suite of upgrades for the Sanchez Slow Street to build on its success with more permanent, attractive, and easier-to-maintain elements at intersections, including concrete bulb islands at some block entries, painted safety zones, and daylighting.
The SFMTA also received a Bloomberg Asphalt Art Initiative grant to support street mural installations on Sanchez Street in collaboration with the San Francisco Parks Alliance. This project represents a fantastic opportunity to infuse the Sanchez Slow Street with local flair and community-driven art.
Public hearing details
Friday, March 7th, at 10:00 AM.

1) Practiced the 1st 1/3 of my 2nd degree black belt #Aikido test with my test partner today. The basics went okay, & now I think I know what technique reversals to demonstrate.
2) Gorgeous day, enjoyed a block-wide #GarageSale on the #PageSlowStreet #SlowStreet in #LowerHaight. Kiddo & spouse found pants, & kiddo found a necklace she likes.
3) Completed my enormous #SF #California #ballot! Will mail my #vote this week! Still weeks to go, but feels lighter!
It shouldn't be so stressful to enjoy Sanchez #SlowStreet. Too many drivers with something to prove. Beginning to think the SFMTA has burned through the money allocated for safety improvements on study and planning.
#SlowStreet (or not) equivalents in other lands.
Excerpts from an email update just received from the #SFMTA:

An opponent of the Chenery #SlowStreet just said “we live in a city, not in a suburb,” which reminds me of the paradox that people associate “big city” with “lots of traffic,” and move to suburbia to get away from traffic in their subdivisions, despite the fact that the suburban form increases car dependence, and dense big cities make cars uniquely impractical and unnecessary.
My new #yoyo video is online now!
It features an original soundtrack and all original tricks. "Slow Streets, Responsive Yo-Yos" was shot entirely on beautiful Sanchez Street in #SanFrancisco. One of my favorite #SlowStreet projects in SF.

Hey y'all, my new #yoyo video is live now!
It's filled with original "responsive counterweight" tricks, but it's also a love letter to Sanchez St, my favorite #SlowStreet in #SanFrancisco. Watch it here https://youtu.be/OZa19jeNVtM
Some big #yoyo things happening today. First off, I'm doing a second release of the Doc Pop edition Things on DoctorPopular.com at 10am PDT.
Secondly, I'm releasing my new trick video, "Slow Streets". This video was shot on Sanchez Street, one of my favorite #SlowStreet projects in #SanFrancisco. It's the first full length trick video I've made featuring my "responsive counterweight" tricks. Slow Streets premieres today at 2pm PDT https://youtu.be/OZa19jeNVtM
20th Street used to be designated as a #SlowStreet, making it one of the few safe paths for east/west cycling. On the same day that SF pulled out all that Slow Street signage from 20th St, they installed concrete barricades in Capp St to cut down on prostitution.
#SanFrancisco’s local government doesn’t give a fuck about the safety of cyclists or pedestrians.
So, uhn—what? Pacific is no longer a #SlowStreet #SanFrancisco - that’s really rotten. It was safer. Now, with no notice — all the slow streets signs are gone - really rotten
Continued thread
"When I walked on a #SlowStreet, I saw things I thought I’d never see in a city with a #traffic violence problem as bad as Oakland’s. 15 elementary aged children riding on bicycles; seniors doing a morning walk in the middle of the street; disabled folks in wheelchairs strolling alongside parents pushing strollers. Many cities followed #Oakland and shut down neighborhood streets. #SanFrancisco went as far as shutting down a highway, which activists are now fighting to keep shut down."

Some of the kids who utilize the neighborhood #slowstreet call me ladywhoyellsatcars as though it is my name.
I like it and might change my handle. Super proud of myself.
Nick Sousanis made a mini-comic about the importance of car-free streets for Safety, Community, & Climate. It covers a lot of #SanFrancisco projects (#JFKpromenade & Page #SlowStreet), but it's intended to raise awareness of how others can work to build slow streets in their cities.
This #zine is free to download from Nick's site. You can print them up and hand them out too.
