Thank you to everyone who shared feedback this spring. More than 200 community members participated through in person events, virtual sessions, and neighborhood gatherings. Our outreach summary—available in Related Reports & Documents—highlights key themes, project modifications, and next steps.
The SFMTA Engineering Virtual Public Hearing on June 12, 2026will include several items related to the Cayuga Slow Street Upgrades & Green Infrastructure Project:
- A proposed 15 mph speed limit on Cayuga Slow Street
- Proposed traffic calming upgrades, including raised crosswalks at Cayuga/Oneida and Lyell/Cayuga
- Proposed parking changes at Cayuga/Ocean, Cayuga/Oneida, Oneida (Delano–Otsego), Santa Ysabel/Capistrano, and Alemany/Ottawa/Huron
While this hearing does not include the proposed daylighting islands at select intersections or the upgraded concrete diverter at Geneva/Cayuga, these important pedestrian safety measures remain part of the project. Because they are considered routine safety upgrades, they do not require a public hearing.
The hearing will take place virtually on Friday, June 12 at 10:00 a.m. Community members may comment by calling into the Microsoft Teams meeting or by submitting a letter of opinion.
Next Steps
Following the hearing, the speed limit reduction and bus zone extension at Ocean/Cayuga will need to go to the SFMTA Board for approval later this summer.
Once approved, near term improvements along Cayuga Avenue—including daylighting islands, an upgraded Geneva Avenue diverter, updated Slow Street signage, and additional traffic calming measures—will begin in late 2026 into 2027.
Rain garden locations will then enter detailed design, with additional opportunities for public input, ahead of construction estimated for 2028/2029. This work will be led by SFPUC and SFPW.
