Want to help get separated bikeways on three blocks of Fell and Oak Street between Scott and Baker? Take a few minutes today and ask Mayor Ed Lee and SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin to connect the Panhandle to the Wiggle with separated bikeways. As the SFMTA nears the end of it’s community outreach and planning process and narrows in on likely options, it’s important for our city leaders to hear your story and why separated bikeways on these three blocks of Fell and Oak are important to you.

Please email mayoredwinlee@sfgov.org and Ed.Reiskin@sfmta.com today. We’ve prepared the following email to help you voice your support. Please also cc: neal@sfbike.org. Dear Mayor Lee [INTRODUCE YOURSELF, WHERE YOU (AND YOUR FAMILY) LIVE, AND YOUR OCCUPATION] I urge you to add separated bikeways on Fell and Oak Street between Scott and Baker Street as soon as possible. [ADD HOW SEPARATED BIKEWAYS WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL SAFE AND CONFIDENT AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO BIKE MORE TO WORK, HOME, SCHOOL, AND LOCAL SHOPS: - WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU BIKE ON THESE ROUTES? - WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU'RE BIKING ON THESE ROUTES TODAY? - WHAT WOULD MORE COMFORTABLE BIKEWAYS (LIKE THE GREEN SEPARATED BIKE LANES ON MARKET STREET) MEAN TO YOU AND YOUR BIKE TRIPS? - DO YOU HAVE KIDS AND BIKE (OR WOULD BIKE) WITH THEM ON THIS ROUTE? - LIST ANY OTHER INFORMATION TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF.] I urge you to act quickly to create these three blocks of separated bikeway as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for connecting the city for everyone! Sincerely, YOUR NAME
