SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - San Francisco’s bike plan, hobbled by a court injunction for more than two years, is now facing further delays due to poor project management by city officials, cyclists charge.
Nearly 60 projects — including the installation of bike racks, additional lane striping and a city bike-share program — have been on hold since Superior Court Judge James Warren issued a preliminary injunction in June 2006.
The order came at the request of two groups, 99 Percent and Coalition for Adequate Review, which sought greater public review of The City’s bike plan. The groups’ lawsuit claimed that The City acted hastily in approving a plan to add 34 miles of bike lanes within city limits.
Warren ordered a freeze on any implementation of the bike plan until a new environmental impact report was completed. City officials must complete both a draft and final EIR before the injunction can be lifted.
