We live here in Potrero by the community garden. Right now we’re using Mariposa more than 17th, because there’s all this traffic - even there you can see someone parked in the bike lane. We commute to school, as well as shops and restaurants.
It’d be great if we could get a dedicated bike lane so people can use this main thoroughfare. 17th is flat going most of the way through the city, there’s all these great businesses here. It would be great for cyclists to be able to use this.
We use a car a lot too, but 16th has become the best car-centric route. So I don’t see any downside to having a dedicated bike corridor, there are so many other streets better for cars.
