Upcoming Installations:
In the course of developing the Bayview Areawide Traffic Calming Plan, SFMTA staff has held several community meetings over the last year to help identify traffic calming measures in the neighborhood. Focusing on the area east of Third Street, the plan calls for speed humps, more traffic circles, median islands and bike lanes. One of the first measures that was approved and will be installed soon is a speed hump on McKinnon St between Lane and Mendell Ave. Hudson Avenue has also been identified as a key street with median islands and other traffic calming devices under design. Construction is expected early next year for the first phase elements of the Plan.

Construction Update:
Speed cushions.
Oakdale (Ingalls-Griffith) is on the May 15th MTA Board agenda.
Speed hump with median island.
Quesada, Revere, Underwood and Van Dyke Aves between Lane and Keith Streets have passed the MTA Board. Scheduled construction will begin in late 2007.


RESULTS! Presenting the Bayview Draft Traffic Calming Plan

The Traffic Calming applicants 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 attended other departmental community meetings and 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 October 12, 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 Bayview Draft Traffic Calming Plan (North Section (pdf)) (South Section (pdf)) (funding/phasing plan (pdf)) has been approved by the SFMTA Board. The first phase of construction is scheduled for early 2007.

Project Time Line
The initial Kick-off meeting occurred October 2005. We had a public meeting in October 2006 where attendees reached consensus on the Traffic Calming scenario presented by SFMTA staff. We are anticipating that the necessary legislative, engineering and Phase 1 implementation phases could be started by early 2007.
