The dominoes are falling… tonight, the first of several steps needed to lift San Francisco’s bike injunction was taken. The SF Planning Commission certified the Environmental Impact Review (EIR) of the San Francisco Bicycle Plan.

The next step is tomorrow morning’s MTA Board meeting (9am), where the MTA will decide whether to approve the Bike Plan (indications are that they will) and then vote on projects under consideration for immediate implementation. If you’re able to make it to City Hall tomorrow morning, that would be huge. The SFBC put it well:

The Board of Directors of the SF Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) will vote on the Bike Plan and whether to give a green light to nearly 50 Bike Network improvement projects. We need you at this City Hall hearing to speak up in support of these Bike Network improvement projects…

Do you live, work or commute along one of the proposed routes? Stand up at the hearing and add your voice, along with other SFBC members, on this historic day. Together we can win the biggest increase of bike lanes ever seen in San Francisco… We know that there will be opponents, and we want to make sure that the Board hears many more positive comments about biking… RSVP now at sfbike.org/26rsvp so that we can track who’s coming.

We’ll bring you more on this tomorrow after the MTA meeting, but if you want to know what’s happening at the meeting in realtime, you can sign up for the SFBC’s twitter feed (userid: sfbc).
