The Circular Avenue Draft Traffic Calming Plan
SFMTA Staff and the community (including members of the Sunnyside Neighbors Association) reviewed the draft Circular Avenue Traffic Calming Plan at a community meeting on October 10, 2006. Attendees reached consensus that the speed hump option would be done first and that additional funding for the traffic chicane option will be sought in the future. Here is the funding/phasing plan (PDF).
The plans for each segment of Circular Avenue are below:
Circular Avenue between Judson and Flood Avenues (PDF)
Circular Avenue between Flood Avenue and Monterey Boulevard (PDF)
Phase 1: Speed humps. In regards to placement of speed humps, residents were balloted and approved of the measures. Speed humps have been constructed between Monterey Boulevard and Hearst Avenue, between Baden Street and Flood Avenue, and between Congo Street and Staples Avenue.
Phase 2: Traffic Islands. Three traffic islands were constructed along Circular Avenue at Hearst, Flood and Staples Avenues.
Phase 3: Intersection realignment. The intersection of Circular Avenue, Judson Avenue, Paulding Street and Detroit Street will be realigned into 2 separate intersections as shown in the plans. This is planned for construction by mid-2012.
