not the City Traffic Engineer’s decision is considered a Final SFMTA Decision is
determined by Division II, Section 203 of the Transportation Code. If the City
Traffic Engineer approves a parking or traffic modification, it is considered a
Final SFMTA Decision. If a City Traffic Engineer disapproves or declines a parking
or traffic modification, a member of the public must request additional review by
the SFMTA of that decision which shall be conducted pursuant to Division II,
Section 203 of the Transportation Code before the decision becomes a Final SFMTA
Decision. Final SFMTA Decisions, whether made by the City Traffic Engineer or the
SFMTA Board, can be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to
Ordinance 127-18. Decisions reviewable by the Board of Supervisors are denoted
