Lyft has begun outreach regarding a third bikeshare station proposed for Glen Park (reported on in the summer issue of the Glen Park News).
Please see Lyft’s flyer here: V21 Multi-purpose Flyer Arlington Garden and address your feedback to outreach@fordgobike.com
As of mid-May when I last spoke to the company, they think there will be a hearing before the SFMTA Traffic Engineer by late summer. As always, SFMTA will post notices about the hearing about one week before on telephone poles near the site.
Once the hearing is scheduled, members of the public also have an opportunity to comment, either in person at the meeting (which happen every other Friday at 10 a.m.) or by email to adrian.leung@sfmta.gov. (Please note that both types of comments are weighted equally because the SFMTA traffic engineer does understand that most people work on Fridays at 10 a.m.)
I take BART to work and I often stop in one of the GP businesses on the way for coffee and a quick bite. This would be much easier if there was an a station on the corner of diamond and chenery. I would definitely spend more.
Love the bike share! Let’s keep it moving!
As long as they don’t take away new parking spaces to stage the bike area. (Could they put it in the unused bike parking spot in front of Critter Fritters?) Our parking situation for a shared retail/residential area is dire.
I agree, the bike parking spot in front of Critter Fritters is always empty – use that. As it is, it’s an utter waste of space, to the detriment of both Glen Park merchants and shoppers.
Parking is such a challenge throughout the village. And while there are blue zones, they seem to always be taken. San Francisco needs to find a better balance in accommodating the handicapped and elderly! While I strongly question the need more rental bike stations; mu suggestion: the one open space that will not take away more parking is the plaza at the GP BART station.
I’d like to agree with the idea to use the space in front of Critter Fritters which is always empty.
Are all of the Glen Park BART exployeel parking places used? They are empty most times that I view them, but that is later in the day.
The bike garage installment in front of Critter Fritters removed valuable parking for folks buying 30 pound bags of pet food. That bike garage is empty over 90% of the time, so that could also be a possibility.
A bigger question is, do we need more bike rentals in our extremely congested downtown area?
