The resulting 2005 San Francisco Bicycle Plan was adopted unanimously by the Board of Supervisors on June 7, 2005,[4] but a preliminary injunction was issued against its implementation by San Francisco Superior Court judge James Warren at the request of plan opponents in late June 2006.
[6] The injunction, which was upheld by San Francisco Superior Court judge Peter Busch on November 7, 2006,[7] barred the city from implementing any of the projects described in the plan, including bicycle paths, lanes, or sharrows.
[8] The SFMTA installs inverted-U bicycle parking racks at the request of businesses or residents on city sidewalks next to the street.
This activity was not prevented under the 2006-2010 injunction, and the SFMTA continues to install and repair them when damaged, slowly increasing their number over time.
Between August and December 2010, the SFMTA installed ten "bicycle corrals", which are groups of five to eight inverted-U racks located in the street next to the sidewalk, replacing one automobile parking space.
A western span addition (between San Francisco and Yerba Buena Island) is being considered, and though funding hasn't been secured, the MTA has predicted it will be completed by 2030.
