The Draft 19th-Lincoln Bypass Traffic Calming Plan
The Community Working Group and SFMTA Staff have been working together over the last year to address the concerns of the neighborhood regarding speeding and cut-through traffic going between 19th Avenue and Lincoln Way. We looked over the survey results that were returned to us and using that and the CWG input, we both are proud to present the 19th-Lincoln Bypass Draft Traffic Calming Plan (revised 10/19/06) (pdf). Here is the Phasing/Funding Plan (pdf).
This plan was presented and discussed in more detail at the large community meeting on October 30th, 2006. Attendees showed consent on the plan, and it was formally approved by SFMTA Board in early January 2007. Balloting for Phase I implementation will start in early 2007.
Ballots for the Phase 1: Speed humps. The speed humps have been approved by the residents. They have since been approved at the DPT Public Hearing and MTA Board. Construction was started and completed in June 2007.
UPDATE (9/01/07): We recently inspected the speed humps that were recently constructed, and found that the speed hump on 18th Ave between Irving and Judah Street was somewhat higher than the standard City design. As a result, DPW crews will be replacing this speed hump 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.
