The SFMTA has launched a new program aimed at increasing the number of bike rental stations in the city.<\/p>\n
It wants to use curb spaces left empty because of the state’s daylighting law to do so.<\/p>\n
The daylighting law <\/a>went into effect a year ago. It requires 20 feet of space to be clear <\/a>before a crosswalk — an urban planning tactic to bring “daylight” to an intersection.<\/p>\n Similar laws were passed in 39 other states, with proponents saying it reduced the rate of collisions between vehicles and people crossing intersections.<\/p>\n More than three million people rode a bike along busy corridors in San Francisco last year, with current estimates predicting that number will be surpassed again in 2026.<\/p>\n SFMTA says the agency does not have a set goal for a number of new stations. But will work to install new locations as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The SFMTA has launched a new program aimed at increasing the number of bike rental stations in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391115,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-391114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391114"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391114\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
