Valencia Bike Lane Construction Updates

UPDATE: 5/28/2025

The Valencia Street Bike Lane Project is really pretty much done. They got rid of the ugly silly center lane earlier in March and repaved that part of the road with fresh blacktop. The bike lane now zig zags around parklets. Cars have to park further into the street (I like it how now car folks need to watch out for the bikes when walking to the sidewalk – the narrative is flipped). Also, there is plenty of space for cars to drop off people. This is the plan that I thought would work best a few years back. It is like how the bike lane was implemented originally at 14th Street. Bravo!

With the advent of the Great Highway closure and Sunset Dunes Park at the beach, San Francisco is becoming a fine bicycle town.

Cars are still getting use the bike lane. This driver thought that it means that's where you park? — Cars are still getting use to the bike lane. This driver thought that green zone means that is where you park.

Valencia at 21st. As bicyclists we are use to going around stuff.
