Build Protected Bike Lanes on Howard Now.

Where bike infrastructure stops, people die. There have been too many deaths in SOMA. Following the death of Tess Rothstein, we call on the SFMTA to build a protected bike lane on Howard from 6th to Embarcadero immediately.

Tell our leaders to fix Howard NOW

Message Dear Mayor Breed, Board of Supervisors and SFMTA, Tess Rothstein was killed this week after a driver opened their door into her path, forcing her under a truck which ran her over. A protected bike lane on Howard would have saved her life. We need the SFMTA to be proactive and install protected bike lanes on every stretch of the high injury network by the end of this year. Other cities have taken swift action and expanding their protected bike lane networks rapidly. Why does the SFMTA under Ed Reiskin’s leadership only install protected bike lanes after someone is killed? That is not leadership. Extend the protected bike lane on Howard to 3th Street within the next 21 days and to the Embarcadero by the end of 2019. These deaths cannot continue in our city. Thank you.
