Thanks for that idea Mike.  I work at Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center, so yes, am involved in this one.  BTW, for anyone interested in going to the Planning Commish tomorrow, the meeting does start at 1pm but this item is not scheduled until 6 pm - http://www.sfgov.org/site/planning_page.asp?id=33460

On this project, one possible mitigation for the traffic impacts of Home 
Depot could be for them to pay for (or do the work for) the median shaving 
necessary to stripe a northbound bike lane on Bayshore from Industrial to 
Jerrold. DPT mentioned the idea to them but I believe they said their 
project area was limited, or something like that. I think it would be a 
good way for them to build up some goodwill with the community, and in the 
whole scheme of things, it will not cost them that much, especially since 
they are already doing some concrete/asphalt/signal work near the entrance 
on Bayshore. Too bad they didn't take the opportunity to be more 
proactive.

The southbound route here is on Barneveld/Loomis, so for this section of 
Bayshore, the median shaving and northbound bike lane would take care of a 
big chunk of what we need on Bayshore. With the Oakdale bike lanes 
recently extended, this is a good chance to continue filling in the gaps 
in the area.

Anyone involved with the Home Depot effort? I think if enough people ask 
for this, there is a chance they'll do it.

BAYSHORE HOME DEPOT - PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
1 pm, City Hall, Rm 400*

The proposed Home Depot on Bayshore (site of the old Goodman's Lumber and 
Whole Earth Access) will have a dramatic impact on traffic and could 
affect bike lanes on Bayshore. This Planning Commission meeting will be 
the final review and action on the project -- be sure to come out and help 
push for the best outcome for biking on Bayshore.
