This is in regards to the proposed street changes at for a bike share station at Post St. and Baker St., San Francisco.
I am OPPOSED to the bike share station at this location as a senior citizen and living in this neighborhood for the last 37 years. 1. It is almost impossible to find parking as it is. It has forced me to double park to unload my groceries. I’m on a fixed income and It opens me up to double parking tickets. The annual “G” sticker is too expensive as it is and you can’t find parking! What is the point to the “G” stickers if you can’t find parking. 2. My neighbors that live in the low-income housing project need the “No “G” sticker needed” for this side of the street parking as there is not enough parking inside the Westside parking lot. It would force low-income neighbors to purchase the annual neighborhood “G” stickers at $144 in this calendar year. These neighborhood stickers are expensive and keep going up every year! 3. Then of course you have all the Kaiser patients and employees park in our neighborhood and take up ANY available street parking spaces durning the day time. 4. There is a bike sharing station two blocks away at Divisadero and Post St. It is not a far walk for someone to rent their “overly expensive” Lyft or Bay Wheels bikes.
There must be a better location than to take valuable parking spaces away from our neighborhood and our neighbors. Does it have to take away street parking spaces? Consider perhaps along the fence to the Westside playground on Post St. It is practical and would not take away the parking spaces at Post St. and Baker St.
Please consider all the problems we already have with parking in our neighborhood!
