Today's adventure before tomorrow's rain:
Page #SlowStreet
GGP
Great Highway
Lake Merced
Park Merced
Ingleside
City College
Mission Terrace
Glen Park
Mission

The @deyoungmuseum is open and @calacademy opens this week. I just renewed my membership. Support these extraordinary institutions. We're helping them expand access for staff and visitors

And @ParkwideBikes will rent your family bikes or a surrey

There's even delicious affordable food for a picnic

The magnolias may be past peak, but cherries are starting theirs

The eastern part of JFK is lovely. The western part is car-dominated. If you're on foot or wheels, cut over to Overlook at Transverse for a mostly car-free path all the way to the beach. The signs are tiny

Our crews are on track for completion of Outer Sunset traffic calming project, including new speed humps and raised crosswalks throughout area. Also N trains coming back in May

.@AndytownSF Coffee is epic

The brain never tires of simple natural beauty

Yes @peterhartlaub the Riptide and White Cap are both open, and our L Taraval project worked hard to protect their @SharedSpacesSF

Yes and yes

I pride myself in knowing most streets and lanes in SF but Brookhaven is new. As is this fairy garden on Lakeshore

Lake Merced: Stunningly beautiful place. Rather terrifying to get to

Park Merced is weird but occasionally magical

Holloway is a level street that connects @sfstate and @OfficialCCSF. It's most-requested #SlowStreet in Ingleside and also primary emergency response. We're hoping to co-design with emergency svcs a street that works for people and fire trucks. Bonus: Beep's

.@OfficialCCSF unlocks access to opportunity, especially in a rapidly changing economy. Its beautiful campus also offers a secret bike route:
Lee
Cloud
Marston
Havelock
and across the Havelock Bridge

SF has an array of under-appreciated pedestrian bridges over the freeways. Havelock bridge connects @OfficialCCSF and Balboa Park

Havelock leads to Cayuga, whose curves follow Islais Creek running beneath. Cayuga connects to Lyell and Glen Park. Then San Jose or Arlington #SlowStreet gets you to Mission or Noe

I'm still surprised how well some of the #SlowStreets work:
Neighbors moving in
Independent kids
Joggers, bicyclists, skateboarders, wheelchair users
Others need help and we're developing a new toolkit to make them better

For the cost of 1 freeway mile, SF could have a citywide network of #SlowStreets + paths, welcoming people of all ages and abilities, and maintaining access + parking for those who must drive. Imagine if federal transport stimulus were aimed at people not pavement
