One night in June, a driver sped through the wrong lane of traffic in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco—trying to pass another car—and killed a cyclist riding legally in the other direction. A couple of hours later, another driver in the city's SOMA neighborhood sped through a red light and killed a 26-year-old woman on a bike.
The next day, the director of transportation at the SFMTA told a reporter that "the best bike infrastructure in the world would not have prevented these collisions." Bike and pedestrian advocates disagree, and since the city hasn't done much to help, they're taking action themselves—temporarily redesigning local bike lanes themselves.
