Install a Protected Bike Lane on 14th Street

Cross-section of a street design proposal for 14th, showing a bike lane separated from car traffic

14th Street between Sanchez and Folsom Streets has a dangerous, paint-only, unprotected bike lane that is unsafe for people and discourages people from shifting trips from cars to bikes and scooters, which leads to more car traffic, demand for car parking, noise, air pollution, roadway injuries and fatalities, and climate emissions and less revenue for local businesses. This section of 14th Street serves as a critical route for people going east, connecting to Market, Valencia, Shotwell, and Folsom Streets.

It's time for 14th Street's dangerous, paint-only, unprotected bike lane to be upgraded to a curbside protected bike lane. Support a curbside protected bike lane on 14th Street by filling in the form on this page, tapping ‘Start Writing’, then tapping ‘Send Letter’—it only takes a few taps and less than a minute, and you'll make a difference!
