»Masonic and Fell

At the Board of Supervisors' Land Use Committee meeting, the Fell St. bike lane became a fixture, and the Board now moves on to consider the long-overdue improvements to the Masonic intersection

      At the Board of Supervisors' Land Use Committee on Monday, the much-loved Fell St. bike lane between Scott and Baker Streets was made permanent, a final victory for a campaign that has lasted more than 10 years. In addition, on Tuesday, the Board approved the removal of three parking spaces on Fell St. at Masonic to improve visibility between cars and bikes. This approval will allow for implementation of other Phase I improvements for the Fell/ Masonic intersection, such as ladder crosswalk striping, advanced phase for bikes/ peds, and advanced stop line, all expected in February. Stay tuned for news on our push for additional improvements down the road. If you are interested in volunteering with the SFBC's Panhandle Xing Guard effort, send an e-mail to xing-guard@sfbike.org
