Once again, StreetFilms nails it in this excellent video report on San Francisco’s innovative drive to reclaim public space from the automobile through “tactical urbanism”—using low-cost materials to delineate human-centred environments.
Despite being under a court injunction that prohibited improvements to bicycle infrastructure for much of the time, the city has enjoyed a 71 percent increase in bicycling over the past five years.
Like San Francisco, our west coast cities, such as Victoria and Vancouver, are also seeing a steep rise in bicycle use, as well as the challenges of steep hills. We can take heart and tips from the successes of our southern neighbour.
