This is an extremely disappointing piece. "Some [bike lane users] feel it's not safe enough" is a mischaracterization. Many of us feel it's less safe than what was there before. In addition, limiting choices to status quo, returning to unprotected bike lanes, or protected curb lanes is extremely blinkered thinking. There's no reason Valencia has to be a 2 way street for cars, and no reason it has to be open to cars 24 hours a day.

Valencia Street businesses say the new design isn’t working for them. Bikers say the street is still not safe enough.
