DESCRIPTION:SAN FRANCISCO —  The San Francisco County Transportation Authority 
 (SFCTA), in conjunction with Caltrans, Muni, Department of Parking and 
 Traffic, Department of Public Works and the Mayor’s Office of Greening, 
 is developing a Transportation Plan for the 19th Avenue/Park Presidio 
 corridor from Lake Avenue to Junipero Serra Boulevard.\n\nThe corridor is 
 designated as a State Highway (Highway 1) that is owned and operated by 
 Caltrans. It is a six-lane highway serving both regional and local traffic. 
 The study area spans 7.5 miles with approximately 78,000 vehicles using it 
 per day, giving it one of the heaviest traffic loads of any residential 
 street in San Francisco. Because of its current auto-focused design, it 
 divides neighborhoods like the Richmond and Sunset in half since it is 
 challenging and intimidating to cross for pedestrians and cyclists alike.  
 \n\nResidents who live near the corridor feel threatened by the dense, fast 
 moving traffic but see its potential and have worked together to design 
 street improvements. Sunset-Parkside Education Action Network (SPEAK) 
 worked with urban design students from UC Berkeley to create a plan for the 
 Sunset part of the corridor. Their plan calls for curb bulbouts and 
 landscaping at intersections, lighting, landscaping and artwork on the 
 median and an increased buffer zone at the sidewalk. In the Richmond 
 District, the Park Presidio Neighbors group has sketched out similar safety 
 and beautification improvements for Park Presidio Blvd, 14th Avenue and 
 Funston Avenue.  \n\nSFCTA’s Senior Engineering Project Manager, Ian 
 Moore expects the Plan “to outline, in one document, all the improvement 
 projects that Caltrans, Muni, DPT and DPW have scheduled for this corridor, 
 such as improved traffic signal visibility to motorists, installation of 
 pedestrian countdown timers and short-term transit access improvements. The 
 Plan will focus on short-term pedestrian, transit and landscaping projects 
 that can be constructed by City agencies with available Proposition K and 
 federal funding.” \n\nThe project sponsors are hosting the first round of 
 community meetings on June 28th and 29th where the agencies will present a 
 progress report on the corridor’s upcoming transportation improvements, 
 followed by a facilitated public discussion. They hope that many residents 
 and corridor users come to the interactive community meetings to share 
 their ideas and concerns.    \n\nWednesday, June 28th, 6-8 pm\nSFPD
