20th Avenue Traffic Calming ProjectThis project was made possible through the efforts of Supervisor Chu. Upcoming EventsThe Traffic Calming Program will be presenting the project to residents at an Open House this January. Project InformationLocal residents have expressed their concerns regarding speeding and cut-through traffic on 20th Avenue between Taraval and Ulloa Streets. The Traffic Calming Program monitored speeds, which exceed 30 mph in the downhill direction. While some motorists use 20th Avenue to avoid red lights on 19th Avenue, many others must use 20th Avenue for local access to parts of Parkside and West Portal. Regardless, their speeds ought to reflect the fact that they are travelling through a residential neighborhood, not a designated arterial This section of 20th Avenue is 46 feet wide and a designated bicycle route. It has a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph. Project UpdateThe conversion of parallel metered parking on the west side near Taraval Street has been approved by the SFMTA Board. City agencies have preliminarily approved conceptual designs, pending further citizen input. The SFMTA is waiting for the completion of Muni Metro track upgrades at the intersection of 19th Avenue and Taraval Street, and its consequent detours, before proceeding with any construction.
