The three speed cushions on Kansas Street are a traffic calming measure
proposed based on speed surveys and resident complaints. The extended angled
parking is necessary to provide enough width for the cushion on that block.
Residents of all three blocks voted on the entire proposal, which passed. The
median island at the intersection of Kansas Street & 26th Street is being removed
as it predates stop signs at the intersection, so no longer provides a safety benefit.
Currently, it is an on-going maintenance issue and is directly in the accessible path
of travel for pedestrians.
Categorically exempt from Environmental Review:
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1(c): Operation,
repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing
highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle
and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities.

requests SFMTA review of that decision, the additional review shall be
conducted pursuant to Division II, Section 203 of the Transportation Code.
