Whether or 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 with a pound (#).
Information about the review process can be found at:
