Introduction
This planning study will focus on improving safety, accessibility, and overall experience at key intersections along Lincoln Way, next to Ocean Beach, including Lower and Upper Great Highway, La Playa Street, and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The project will explore ways to enhance connections for people walking, biking, and driving, with place-making features to create a more welcoming and enjoyable environment for everyone.
With future developments and the vision for a new Great Highway Park or promenade in mind, the study will incorporate multi-modal traffic counts, user observations, and landscape design concepts to guide a vibrant transformation of this area.
Project/Study Partners
This project is funded by the Transportation Authority’s Neighborhood Transportation Program and led by San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency
