Streamlining Task Force Wants to Kill S.F.’s Bike Advisory Committee

[Scott Mace]

"When the BAC was formed in 1990, the MTA did not yet exist. The
Department of Parking and Traffic (DPT) or the Department of Public
Works (DPW) may not have planned extensively for bicycle infrastructure.
However, the MTA now has a Sustainable Streets Division with teams
focused on active transportation, employs full-time bike planners and
engineers, and integrates biking into multimodal planning. While the BAC
may have been essential in the 1990s, transportation planning looks very
different thirty-five years later, and the BAC may no longer be necessary."

This recommendation will have to contend with MTC, which requires Bay Area cities and counties (SF is both) to have BPACs in order to qualify for TDA funding.
