Document Description
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) would implement transportation safety improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists on Beach Street between Van Ness Avenue and The Embarcadero and on Columbus Avenue between Beach and North Point streets. The project would establish a two-way protected bikeway along Beach Street between Van Ness Avenue and Columbus Avenue and bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements along the entire project corridor. Proposed pedestrian improvements include continental crosswalks, advance limit lines, traffic signal timing improvements to give pedestrians a head start to cross the intersection, daylighting for improved visibility (red curbs/no parking at intersection approaches), and a painted safety zone. Additional pedestrian improvements on the block of Beach Street between Hyde Street and Larkin Street include vehicle turn restrictions and curb use changes to support desired place making and prioritize pedestrians on this block. Bike network improvements, such as new bike curb ramps and traffic signal phasing changes, would be focused on Beach Street between Van Ness Avenue and Columbus Avenue. In addition, bicycle shared lane markings (sharrows) would be implemented on Columbus Avenue between Beach Street and North Point streets.
