The Inner Sunset Draft Traffic Calming Plan
The Community Working Group have been working together with SFMTA Staff over the last year to create a draft Traffic Calming Plan that would address the community's concerns that were expressed at the October 2005 Kick-Off Meeting. In addition, we looked at the survey results that were mailed to us to gauge what areas have the most need for traffic calming. Together, a draft plan was drawn up and presented at the September 27, 2006 community meeting. There was general concensus on the plan at the meeting. A few modifications may still be made, but for most part, the Inner Sunset Draft Traffic Calming Plan (pdf) has been approved by the SFMTA Board. The first phase of construction is scheduled for mid-2007. (Here is the funding/phasing plan (pdf) )
Phase 1: Speed humps. The 6th Avenue speed humps between Irving and Kirkham Streets have been approved by the MTA Board. Construction was completed in June 2007.
UPDATE (9/01/07): We recently inspected the speed humps that were recently constructed, and found that the humps on 6th Avenue were somewhat higher than the standard City design. As a result, DPW crews will be replacing these speed humps per the proper specifications.
Please note that the standard height and design of the speed hump was crafted to be in line with national guidelines and thorough testing and consulting with the Fire Department and Police Department and other members of the community at large for whom the speed humps pose some impacts. They are still designed to accomplish a reduction in speeds but with these factors taken into account.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience on this important project.

We are seeking to assemble representatives from the various stakeholder groups to help us identify and review a set of alternatives in a step prior to the full public presentation. We envision that this group will meet two to three times over the course of the project do help us better prepare for the full public meetings. Since our kick-off meeting, we have received approximately twenty applications from members of the Community wishing to be considered to serve on this "Community Working Group". We have reviewed these applications formed the Community Working Group. Thank you all who participated.
