San Francisco merchant Eiad Eltawil is going to great lengths to bring attention to the debate over a bike lane along on Valencia Street.A San Francisco business owner says that business along Valencia Street has been negatively affected since a protected bike lane opened in middle of the street. Now, he’s started a hunger strike to bring attention to the consequences he says are happening on the corridor.
“We were against it from the start. They took away 79 parking they made a commercial zone,” said Eltawil said. “There is no more customer that want to come here because there is no parking. Customer sit outside and ask me what to do and it is very frustrating. So there is a huge loss of business because of this bike lane,” he said.The bike lanes run up the center of the street while cars use the outer lanes.“I’m using it twice a week. It's working really well for me," said San Francisco resident Christian Bonvin.
Another bicyclist told NBC Bay Area off-camera Saturday that he does not like the bike lanes or use them.
