Currently, the planning, and safety of riding a bicycle in the city of San Francisco is designated to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.   Over the years, there have been many improvements in the transportation services throughout the city; however, there are many unsafe intersections that remain. 

Among one of the most busiest and dangerous streets in the city, is Masonic Avenue.  The Examiner recently posted a story on the challenges and planned improvements. 

Every year, thousands of San Franciscans and tourists are seriously injured or killed while walking as pedestrians or while riding a bicycle.   The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition has a great website with lots of information and aims to help promote bicycle safety in the city. 

It is important that the city take immediate action to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety in the City.  Most of the dangerous intersections and roadways have already been identified.
