Dear Mayor Breed,

Slow Lake is a beloved resource for families, commuters, and neighbors across San Francisco and supports the city’s transportation, safety, and climate goals. It is home to multiple SF Bike Buses to schools throughout the Richmond, a community gathering place that has formed countless new connections and neighborhood efforts, and a safe place for kids and people of all ages and abilities to commute, improve their health, and visit local businesses using sustainable transportation.

As our city's leader, you are uniquely positioned to improve the proposed design for Lake Street. We are asking you to support the following improvements to make Slow Lake even more successful:

1) Replace temporary barricades with official Slow Streets posts and signs at every intersection

2) Upgrade partial traffic diverters to full diverters

3) Extend Slow Lake to Arguello and 30th

The design of Slow Lake is an amazing opportunity for you to lead for the future of our city, and help us towards our Vision Zero, Transit-First, and sustainability goals. Supporting the above improvements will make you a hero with the vast majority of our city who supports Slow Streets and your signature legislation for JFK Promenade. If you get SFMTA to make the above improvements, we'll be eternally grateful, celebrate you, and support your continued efforts across our city.

Thanks, and please take care.
