Anti-carism isn't polling well in SF
City Beat Poll |
Following up on my congestion pricing post the other day, some other interesting traffic results in the Chamber's annual poll.
"Charge a $3 to $6 fee to drive downtown during commute times to reduce congestion: 65% oppose, 35% support."
City Traffic Congestion: 82% say it's worse, 3% say it's better.
69% say parking is worse in the city, 3% say it's better.
Too bad the poll didn't ask this question like it did last year:
"Removing traffic lanes in various locations around the city to install bike only lanes."
Last year only 47% supported that policy, and 46% opposed it!
That's why City Hall and the Bicycle Coalition have never wanted the Bicycle Plan on the ballot. Even a close vote like that could have stopped the bike revolution in San Francisco.
