They are planning to do this with Market Street in San Francisco. I attended an informational meeting (open to public) about this and other nearby streetscape improvements. Many of the people present were afraid bikes will be running over pedestrians, the fear fueled in part by the recent proliferation of electric scooters. I don't agree that this is the right concern, but I just want to illustrate that the idea might not be popular with the general public.
- Camillo 8y agoHave there been any confirmed injuries from people being run over by scooters in San Francisco? I tried a quick search but came up empty.
- xvedejas 8y agoIf I recall correctly, the only confirmed injury from the recent influx of scooter sharing was from someone tripping over a parked scooter. But the meeting I'm referring to happened about a year ago, and the fear was mostly geared towards private electric longboards and "hoverboards", I think.
