About the Chinatown – Gordon Lau Elementary School Safe Routes to School Project
Project Summary
Caltrans awarded the Chinatown – Gordon Lau Elementary School Safe Routes to School Project to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s Parking and Traffic Division in 2006 to help improve several intersection and mid-block crossings around the school. The project emphasized the crossings between school buildings and the intersection of Powell and Washington Streets. The project plans include:
New traffic signal at Powell and Washington Streets should better control the right-of-way than then existing STOP sign controlled intersection.
New sidewalk extension (bulb-out) on Washington Street at Stone Alley will allow children to cross the street safely between campuses while also giving drivers a better view of crossing pedestrians.
New sidewalk extension (bulb-out) on Clay Street at Joice Alley
Overall, these improvements should help the walking environment to the school from the surrounding neighborhoods.
Project Updates
(Updated June 30, 2011)
We have completed the traffic signal design at Powell and Washington Streets. The next step will be getting environmental clearance and relocation of utilities at the intersection to make way for the new traffic signal infrastructure.
We are currently doing detailed design of the bulb-out on Washington and Clay Streets adjacent to the school as planned.
The project is scheduled to be completed in 2012.
