Sanchez Street is one of the city's most beloved Slow Streets, and was one of the first Slow Streets corridors to be converted to a post-pandemic Slow Street in 2021. A full citywide Slow Streets program was approved by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board in December 2022. This project is an opportunity for Sanchez Street to pilot innovative new treatments and to test out 'next generation' improvements on a Slow Street, including concrete traffic calming islands and permanent metal wayfinding signs. The project will design and install ‘next generation’ Slow Street improvements along Sanchez Street from 23rd Street to 30th Street.

The Ocean Ave Safety & Bike Access project will implement near- and mid-term pedestrian safety, bicycle access, and other upgrades along and adjacent to the Ocean Avenue business district, which were identified in the Ocean Ave Mobility Action Plan.

The Ortega Street Improvements project will design and implement traffic calming measures on Ortega Street between 19th Avenue and 47th Avenue to create a safer, more comfortable pedestrian and bicycle route. The traffic calming measures will improve traffic safety, improve comfort and calmness, and make the local street more inviting for neighborhood scale travel by walking and bicycling. San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency staff will develop detailed designs by drawing on work, findings, and recommendations in the San Francisco Transportation Authority’s District 4 Mobility Study.

Express lanes are a system of managed lanes used as a pricing tool for managing demand on freeways. Freeway congestion has returned and we are exploring what it takes to build out a regional express lane network that supports equity, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and manages congestion.

Our board approved $50,000 in half-cent sales tax funds to support a study that will identify emission reduction strategies for deliveries in the city’s downtown core.
