Valencia Street

The street is named after the Valencia family, who were early Mexican settlers in California.

Streetcar service ended on January 15, 1949 and was not replaced with buses, leaving the street devoid of public transit along its length.

[6][7] In the 1990s, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition had successfully campaigned to have the median divider on Valencia Street removed to make way for cyclist facilities.

[10] Attempts have been ongoing to facilitate bicycle travel while also appeasing the desires of merchants.
