The time was up for these thugs long ago.  They should get permits like every other group in the city and should obey all traffic laws.  If not they should be arrested.  The time has long passed to allow a group of thugs to take over the city once a month. Name Withheld Read This Posty »

Here's an idea.. make sure the police actually do their job.  I just came from watching an all-out brawl at Hallidie Plaza/Powell Street BART/MUNI station.  I viewed this out of my apartment window which overlooks the plaza. I didn't call the police because I saw 2-3 BART police (or some other type of uniformed officer) come out of the BART station and watch the fighting.  I assumed they were just calling the police or for backup and waiting for them to arrive.  But they just stood there and did nothing.  Half an hour later, the police have finally arrived and Read This Posty »

I watched police last night yelling at car drivers just trying to go when their light was green.  The message we're sending is that just because there are a lot of people breaking the law, it's ok.  This is OUTRAGEOUS.  THEY ARE PURPOSELY BREAKING THE LAW AND PURPOSELY ANNOYING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.  Put a stop to this or control it.  Arrest them all.  All those cops descending on motorists trying to cross the street on the green light could've instead stopped all the bicyclists running the red light.  STOP ALLOWING ANARCHY.

Make them organize and assume responsibilities for approved courses, permit and police costs, a marked course- this is ony fair in a city ruled by law. parades need permits and have to cover costs, Races and walks , often to benefit non profit charities, pay thousands of $$ to cover city costs, money that woulkd otherwise go to non profits. And because of all of this, the city residents and those working here are made aware of traffic issues and threats to their normal traffic. Critical Mass is given a pass, the city pays, the citizens except the few hundred Read This Posty »

I have a very simple solution: Enforce the law. Bill Promes Read This Posty »

The newspaper mentioned the next Critical Mass event.  I had an idea.  Would it be possible to put up signs "No parking" on the route where the bicyclists will be?  Would it be possible to ask the drivers to not drive on the same route as the cyclists?  I realize that some people need to drive to get to places, especially emergency vehicles and paratransit vehicles.  Would it be possible to offer free MUNI during the hours of the Critical Mass?  I am trying to think of a win-win situation for everyone.

The mayor (and other prominent public officials) should ride a bicycle to work and engagements for several weeks and join the SF cycling community in a critical mass ride --- if we are serious about making SF a livable city, public officials should encourage alternative means of transportation and take the time to see the streets from a bicyclist's perspective.

Discontinue Critical Mass (Mess) on the last Friday of the month.  They are thugs and don't respects the rights of other people that are in transit.  The graffiti problem is getting worse in my neighborhood.  There should be more be an underground task force to abate it. Thank you for your concerns. Marianne Read This Posty »
