From Streestblog: Two-and-a-half years after a judge issued an injunction preventing the city from adding any new bicycle infrastructure to its streets, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and the San Francisco Planning Department have released a 1353-page Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) on the San Francisco Bicycle Plan.

I can’t think of a better use for clowning. To be honest, I can’t really think of *any* other use for clowning. As reported in the Gothamist.
