Streetfilms producer Clarence Eckerson spent a week this summer documenting the best the Bay Area has to offer. He did videos on the new protected bike lanes on Telegraph, on Alameda, and he did a celebratory piece on the JFK Promenade and Great Highway Park.

This last film is hosted by SFMTA’s transit priority manager and former Streetsblog reporter Michael Rhodes. Be sure to check it out.
