Earlier this week the SFMTA Board of Directors passed a “quick build” policy that I had ask for earlier this year to allow staff to make temporary, inexpensive pilot safety projects. Here’s how that will help make our streets safer:https://medium.com/@LondonBreed/building-safer-streets-faster-our-new-quick-build-policy-92012487ce76 …

This will deliver some immediate actions, starting w/ a fully protected bike lane on 7th St near Mission Bay, expedited progress on Valencia from 19th to Cesar Chavez, Howard St. from the Embarcadero to 3rd St, & more. Five new miles of protected bike lanes accelerated this year!

Is there a line item in that proposal to give psychiatric assistance to all the chronically homeless in our city who stumble into those bike lanes in the midst of psychotic or schitzophenic episodes?

@LondonBreed ^^ Serious question. Bike lanes matter, but it feels like the volume of bike collisions caused by wet muni tracks is increasingly right in line with the collisions caused by the fact that there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for the homeless on our streets.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Hi Steven, the Board of Supervisors just passed legislation I introduced that will expand conservatorship for people suffering from both severe mental illness and addiction issues (https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/San-Francisco-supervisors-strike-deal-to-expand-13927637.php …).

We're also adding an additional 100 treatment beds in the budget on top of the 100 we funded last year. This is a priority of mine, we need to get people the help they need.
