The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition’s extraordinary accomplishments and successful campaigns are propelled by two important funding sources. First, our dedicated volunteers generously donated more than 16,000 hours of their professional skills and talents to advance our work last year. That is the equivalent of eight additional full-time staff members. Second, membership dues and donations from individuals made up nearly 50% of the SF Bicycle Coalition’s annual income in 2010.

Thank you to the individuals, businesses and foundations who gave generously to make our work possible in 2010.

In 2010 we launched our bold Connectingthe City vision for crosstown bikeways along the flattest and already popular biking streets to connect our neighborhoods and help San Franciscans bike from one end of our city to the other. These bikeways will help everyone, from an 8-year-old child to her 80-year-old neighbor, feel safe, comfortable and confident biking everywhere they need to go.

This vision focuses on three popular crosstown bikeways – the Bay to the Beach, the Bay Trail and the North /South bikeways – to help create safer more welcoming routes for bankers heading downtown, families visiting Golden Gate Park, parents dropping

their kids at daycare, and tourists exploring our iconic waterfront. An amazing network of bikeways will connect our city so that more people just like you can get anywhere in the city and beyond.

In October, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution calling for 20% of all trips to be made by bicycle by 2020. This resolution goes hand in hand with our vision for 100 miles of bikeways and helps ensure the city is working toward a shared goal to help San Francisco’s infrastructure catch up with the tremendous demand for safe places to ride a bike.

Thanks to our work, San Franciscans are biking in record numbers, and more people want to bike more. But there is a huge--and growing--demand for safe places to bike. Our vision for connecting our city with separated bikeways is a smart way that San Francisco’s infrastructure can catch up with this tremendous demand.

“If we want to grow as a city, if we want to ever get denser, if we want to protect our environment and make sure that our residents are healthy and make us a more livable city with a higher quality of life, I think this is a goal [20% of trips by bicycle by 2020] that we need to adopt.”-- David Chiu, Board of Supervisors President Streetsblog San Francisco, October 2010

Above: The Market Street bikeway will be a crucial part of our vision for Connecting the City with 100 miles of bikeways by 2020.

PARKLETSThe much-needed spaces that extend the side-walk by one or two parking spaces are prov-ing popular for commercial corridors across San Francisco. We’re working with the City’s Pavement to Parks program on this unique effort to make it easier for businesses to create these parklets and boost their business at the same time. Our SF Great Streets Project studied the initial parklet on Divisadero at Grove Street and found that it has been a success for local businesses by increasing the number of peo-ple walking and encouraging people to linger longer. These studies have helped build the case for more parklets around the city.

We talked to businesses in every corner of the city about how to take advantage of this opportunity, which helped the City’s first request for proposals garner twice as many applications as expected. Dozens of new parklets will be added to streets in 2011.

In December 2010, a mega parklet was an-nounced for both sides of Powell Street between Ellis and Geary. The project will test expanding the sidewalks on both sides of these two blocks with nearly continuous promenades that feature seating and greenery. The SF Bicycle Coali-tion’s Great Streets Project helped study Union Square last winter and found that 85% of traffic at Powell and Ellis streets is people on foot. The project is expected to be built in Summer 2011.

SUNDAY STREETSSunday Streets continues to open minds to how streets can be transformed into welcoming places for people. In 2010, nine events connected neighborhoods from the Western Addition to Japantown to the Tenderloin and opened up streets along the Embarcadero and Third Street, through Golden Gate Park and in the Mission. The record number of people, especially families, riding bikes at Sunday Streets demonstrates the tremendous demand in San Francisco for safe places to ride a bicycle. We are proud to partner with Livable City to recruit, organize and train the hundreds of volunteers that made each event possible.

BIKE MAPPERWe helped create a new web application that gives turn-by-turn biking directions for San Francisco. It was a joint project of the the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Bicycle Coalition and other organizations.

OUR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PROGRAM We helped make biking and walking to school easier for parents and kids at ten SF schools through education, safer streets and incentives. We are proud to be a program partner by teaching walking and

biking safety to second and fourth graders during the last school year. In April, almost 2,000 kids of all ages rode to school on our annual Bike to School Day celebration.

LEARN TO BIKE CLASSES Bike workshops for families and adults are filling up faster than we can schedule them. The Bicycle Coalition taught more than 400 people how to be safe, confident and respectful while riding on city streets and hosted monthly Freedom from Training Wheels classes that helped more than 200 youngsters learn to ride on two wheels.

FOURTH ANNUAL FAMILY BIKING DAY We celebrated the next generation of San Franciscans and their parents who are especially eager to be able to bike more at our Fourth Annual Family Biking Day in Golden Gate Park.

We are creating more open spaces so that San Francisco is an easier place to work, live, shop and play.

THE SAN FRANCISCO BICYCLE COALITION IS PROUD TO BE A RESOURCE FOR A HUGE AND GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE AROUND OUR WONDERFUL CITY WHO WANT TO BIKE.

Left: SF Bicycle Coalition committed significant energy to helping to create the City’s initial parklet on Divisadero Street which has been successful for local businesses and the community.

Right: We helped more children bike more often and more safely with our Safe Routes to School program, Bike to School Day, and other family events.

A FULLY SEPARATED BIKEWAY ON MARKET STREETAn historic pilot project is helping Market Street, the busiest bicycling street west of the Mississippi, get ready for a major reconstruction in 2015.

The required right turns and green separated bike lanes on Market Street, both champi-oned by the SF Bicycle Coalition, are al-ready making a big impact. We are seeing the difference with more parents biking their kids to daycare, more women commuting to work and more families biking to the farmers mar-ket. These small changes are helping people feel safer and more comfortable biking and have increased the number of people biking on this major corridor. There are also more people walking on Market Street and Muni has reported an increase in bus speed since these trials began in 2009.

These changes are garnering tremendous support from businesses along Market Street. From law offices to coffee shops, local businesses see the benefits of more people biking and walking. The Bicycle Coalition’s

Great Streets Project is working with the City’s Better Market Street Project to request input from nearby businesses and community stake-holders to inform these trials and to make our city’s main street a world-class destination that includes vibrant sidewalk and public spaces, excellent transit service, and a fully separat-ed bikeway along the entire length of lower Market Street.

CREATING SAFER CONNECTIONS ACROSS THE CITYA new wave of improvements is adding more than 30 miles of new bike lanes to streets across the city and creating safer connec-tions. These bike lanes are the result of years of campaigning by SF Bicycle Coalition staff and members. The SF Superior Court fully-

lifted the four-year-old Bike Plan injunction in August and by the end of 2010 nearly 12 miles of bike lanes were striped on streets such as North Point, Laguna Honda, Ocean, Townsend, Division, Kirkham and around the Glen Park BART station, with many more scheduled to be striped in 2011 and 2012.

We were thrilled to see the City continue its spirit of innovation in 2010. Green pavement was added along the Fell Street bike lane to see how it can improve and make safer a busy, one block stretch. This improvement is a good first step, and it sets up our vision for a separated bikeway that will create an even safer connec-tion to the western neighborhoods. The city also enhanced Division Street and Laguna Honda bike lanes with physical separation, helping more people feel more safe.

CATCHING UP WITH THE DEMAND FOR BIKE PARKINGOn-street corrals are a smart solution that is help-ing San Francisco catch up with the tremendous demand for bicycle parking. The SF Bicycle Coalition has been talking with business owners about how they can take advantage of this free opportunity and encourage the huge numbers

of people bicycling to stop and shop. With our outreach coordination, this year the SFMTA installed corrals along neighborhood shopping districts such as Valencia Street, Hayes Valley, the Richmond, South of Market and South Park, with even more to be installed in 2011.

A SAFER, CALMER AND BETTER MASONIC AVENUE The SF Bicycle Coalition has worked for years to build support for a safer, calmer and better Ma-sonic Avenue. This past Fall (2010), the SFMTA launched the planning process to make this busy thoroughfare safer for everyone, a result of a traffic-calming petition from the community.

The SFMTA and other City agencies worked with neighbors to propose a new street design that 85% of neighbors and the Bicycle Coali-tion support. The design includes a raised, green bikeway for safer biking, crosswalk im-provements for safer walking, bus stop bulb-

outs, and hundreds of trees in the median to help calm traffic. We look forward to working with these neighbors and the City to get these improvements on the ground.

More and more neighborhoods are wel-coming bikeways into their communities. They want safer streets that have a welcom-ing neighborhood feel. People riding by on bikes are more eyes on the street and more potential shoppers.

ENSURING BIKE ROUTES REMAIN SAFE WITH SMOOTH PAVEMENTOur Good Roads campaign volunteers continued to make bike routes safer by circling potholes and auditing pavement from one end of our city to the other. We’re proud to work closely with the SF Department of Public Works to help pri-oritize bike routes for complete or partial repaving. In 2010, key bike routes that saw new pavement include JFK Drive in Gold-en Gate Park from Transverse to the Great Highway, Seventh Avenue in the Inner Sunset and 17th Street. We also helped the City develop best standards for signage and bike lanes to ensure streets remain safe while they are under construction.

On Bike to Work Day, bicycles accounted for 75% of the morning roadway traffic on Market Street

The North Point St. bike lanes are part of a wave of improvements that will double the number of bike lanes across the city, from 30 miles to 60.
