NEXT, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU ABOUT A MEASURE THAT MAY APPEAR
ON A FUTURE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO BALLOT.

in neighborhoods throughout San Francisco; improve safety for pedestrians
and bicyclists; improve MUNI reliability and traffic flow on local streets and
intersections; repair and improve the safety of deteriorating bridges and
staircases; and improve disabled access to sidewalks; shall San Francisco
issue 248 million dollars in general obligation bonds, subject to independent
oversight and regular audits?”

If the election were held today, would you vote yes in favor of the bond
measure or no to oppose it? (IF YES/NO, ASK:) Will you definitely vote

[ ]h. (BIKES) San Francisco is seeing
a dramatic increase in the
number of people riding
bicycles for transportation and
recreation. More people riding
bikes means less congestion on
public transit, and less
competition for limited parking
spaces. But safety continues to
be a concern; roadway
improvements funded by this
bond, including separated bike
lanes, will reduce conflicts with
cars and pedestrians and are
essential to ensure cyclists’
safety. ----------------------------38%

around will go up. This bond will
help people who use
wheelchairs, walkers, canes and
scooters have curb ramps and

the City, so that they can get to
