Document Description
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency proposes to implement transportation safety improvements on Williams Avenue between 3rd Street and Phelps/Vesta Street. The project would remove one westbound travel lane and converting some segments of parallel parking tci perpendicular parking to encourage vehicle speed reduction on the project corridor and to increase safety for pedestrians. The project would also install speed cushions, painted pedestrian median refuges, upgraded pedestrian crossings (to continental crosswalks), daylighting, and painted safety zones along the corridor. In addition, the project would upgrade the existing far side flag stop on Williams Avenue at 3rd Street to a 100-foot bus zone for the outbound 54 Felton bus route. Given the close proximity of transit stop spacing (230 feet), the project would remove/consolidate the existing nearside (of the intersection) flag stop on Van Dyke Avenue at 3rd Street with the new bus zone.
