It seems that the option is to move it up hill away from the shopping. The shopping is obviously the reason people would use it. and the total number of spaces wouldn't be less anyways. Car parking is less dense so a few more steps for them is more people to the retail. The drivers can walk a bit.

I recently started using bike share, and find it to be a great complement to Muni. Often Muni is slow, unavailable, and unreliable, and bike share fills in those gaps. It's fast and cheap. The voters of this city repeatedly expressed their support for a Transit-First City. It's time to stop catering to a minority of entitled drivers and DO THE RIGHT THING.

The Bike stations is a good incentive for business, and an increase of people flowing into the zone. As density increases there will be no other way to support flow into these business but to allow alternatives to driving a car and parking.

Traffic congestion is a major issue in Hayes Valley and I support measures like this that encourage people to use alternative means of transportation. Bike share is a great option for residents and tourists alike to explore the neighborhood without adding to the long lines of honking, polluting cars all day.

Bike sharing would be great for me and my husband and save us on car usage and parking.

Two dozen bicycle parking spots vs 2 vehicles spots? Why is this even being debated?

For bike share to work it needs to be central. The current location achieves this.

More bikes = less cars. Stop caving in to the car-supremacists.

I think the bike share station is the perfect addition to Hayes Valley! I think it should stay on the street.

Taking up 2-3 parking spots for dozens of bikes that serve dozens of shop patrons is a much better deal for shop owners in Hayes Valley! Study after study has shown that improving transit, cycling, and walking ability in a commercial area increases paying customers at stores.

I used to live on Linden near Laguna, and the current location is much more sensible and usable than moving it uphill. There is ample parking serving the Hayes Street commercial district in the city-subsidized Performing Arts Garage. Bike share belongs at the heart of the neighborhood visible from one of its busiest bus stops.

These stations are proven to increase retail traffic. Adjusting to change is challenging but this will help merchants in the long run as well as all neighborhood and city residents. Reduced congestion, healthy mobility options and integrated into public transit grid. Give it time.
