Document Description
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency {SFMTA) proposes to implement bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements on 3rd Street, between the Lefty O'Doul(3rd Street Bridge and Townsend Street to support citywide Vision Zero efforts to reduce severe and fatal traffic collisions on city streets. The project includes the installation of a two-way {northbound and southbound) protected bikeway on the east side of 3rd Street between the San Francisco Bay Trail {and terminus of the existing two-way bikeway over the Lefty O'Doul/3rd Street Bridge) and Townsend Street, with connections to The Embarcadero and the Caltrain Station at 4th Street between King and Townsend streets. The project would remove one northbound travel lane between the northern terminus of the Lefty O'Doul/3rd Street Bridge and Townsend Street and install five protected corners at King and Townsend streets to protect cyclists traveling straight from right-turning vehicles. The project also includes a protected northbound right turn phase at King Street to reduce conflicts between right-turning vehicles and bicycles and pedestrians crossing King Street on the east side. This protected turn phase would also include four new bike signals and two right turn signals at 3rd and King streets. The project would maintain parking and loading on the east side of the street but would reconfigure it as a floating parking lane configuration.
