About the Horace Mann Middle School Safe Routes to School Project

This project was made possible in part by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority through a grant of Proposition K Local Transportation Sales Tax funds.

Project Summary

Caltrans awarded the Horace Mann Middle School Safe Routes to School Project to the San Francisco Department of Parking and Traffic in 2003 to help improve several intersection crossings around the school and improve the signage and striping on the streets surrounding the school. Improvements to the school area included:

New sidewalk extension (bulb-out) at 24th Street and Valencia Street (SE corner)
Note the new yellow continental school crosswalks also seen in the photos below.

 
New sidewalk extension (bulb-out) at 24th Street and Valencia Street (NW corner)
Note also the new fluorescent yellow-green SCHOOL area signs

New sidewalk extensions (bulb-outs) at 24th Street and Bartlett Street help create a gateway-type treatment to alert drivers they are entering a school zone. They also help reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians and make them more visible to drivers.

Overall, these improvements have helped the walking environment to the school from the surrounding neighborhoods. The project was completed in 2006.
