Four additional businesses have joined the legal battle opposing the Valencia Street bike lane, claiming street changes divert traffic and limit parking, negatively impacting business. The city denied initial claims and faces potential lawsuits seeking damages for financial losses.
Jim Quadra, the attorney representing the businesses, expressed disappointment in the city's response, stating they hoped for dialogue to address the issue rather than immediate denial of claims without any communication regarding the impact on Valencia Street businesses.
While sales slightly dropped in the 94110 zip code during the bike lane implementation, evidence of substantial negative effects specifically on Valencia Street businesses was found to be limited. Overall sales tax increased, indicating a broader economic context.
