Your Call 070108 Is San Francisco a great city for bicycling?

Is San Francisco a great city for bicycling? On the next Your Call, we'll talk about efforts to get people out of their cars and onto a bike. How effective have measures to encourage biking been so far? Does the proposed stop-and-roll law for bikers at red lights and stop signs make it easier to bike in the city, or risk a backlash against cyclists? Do safer streets for bikes inevitably mean it will be harder to drive cars? What sort of changes can city planners make to improve transportation for everyone in our city? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Leah Shahum in San Francisco
Executive Director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition

Bert Hill in San Francisco
Chair of the San Francisco Bicycle Advisory Committee

Dave Snyder in San Francisco
Transportation Policy Director at The San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR)
