Fix Fell Wins Green Bike Lane on Fell Street
Weekly Protests at Arco/BP Station Lead to New Painted Bike Lane on Dangerous SF Street
Responding to weeks of protests and direct action by the grassroots group Fix Fell, as well as lobbying efforts by other community groups, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency on August 3rd painted the bike lane on Fell Street between Scott and Baker Streets green. This is just one more small improvement that is being made to this stretch of The Wiggle, a well-known San Francisco bike route, to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians and improve clarity for motorists.
The protests by Fix Fell have occurred on seven consecutive Fridays since June 11th. There have been two arrests and four citations of protesters, who have been peacefully blocking the Fell St. entrances to the Arco (BP) station to highlight the connection between unsafe conditions for cyclists and society’s addiction to oil, leading to the recent catastrophic Gulf oil spill. Fix Fell maintains its position that while these changes are welcome, they are not enough.
Fix Fell has called for a follow-up day of action on Friday, August 20th.
