San Francisco Shelter Designs
Design, Green | Tuesday, June 5th, 2007 @ in the early evening
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority (SFMTA) is apparently in the process of redesigning the transit shelters and kiosks would like your feedback on the designs that are being considered.
Also, and something I find very cool, the City is considering a shared bicycle concept. According to SFMTA:
The City may implement a bicycle-sharing program to make bicycles available at key transit stops through a pre-paid option similar to car-sharing business models. Bicycle-sharing stations could be incorporated into a transit shelter design—provided they did not impede access for persons with disabilities and other patrons—or they could be free-standing. The initial phase of the Program may include 10-20 pre-paid bicycle sharing stations throughout the City, at locations to be identified by the SFMTA.
This compliments the City’s Bicycle Program that aims to make San Francisco the North American city with the highest per-capita bicycle use. The program would also have a continually improving bicycle network that is safe and convenient for everyone who chooses to bicycle for transportation and recreation. Go SF!
