San Francisco, CA — The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) today announced key accomplishments from its Streets Division covering the most recent three-month reporting period, highlighting progress on street safety upgrades, support for major city events, and improvements that make it easier for people to walk, bike and take transit to access neighborhoods across San Francisco.
From October through December 2025, the agency advanced a range of projects and programs focused on safety, service, and stewardship—supporting the city’s economic recovery while improving everyday travel for residents and visitors.
“Every day our crews are making practical improvements that help people move safely and keep our neighborhoods connected,” said Viktoriya Wise, Director of the SFMTA Streets Division. “From improved crosswalks and safer intersections to curb changes that support local businesses, these upgrades show how targeted investments in our streets can make a real difference for San Franciscans walking, biking, taking transit or driving.”
SAFER STREETS FOR PEDESTRIANS
Crews finished critical work to support the City’s revitalization and safety. In addition to more than 120 crosswalks repaired Downtown, our staff completed the following improvements citywide:
- 479 stop signs replaced
- 88 speed humps
- 11 pedestrian safety zones
- 33 continental crosswalks
- 441 daylighting red zones
Every intersection on the current High Injury Network has received core safety treatments to make crossings safer, including 925 intersections now treated in addition to improvements by community benefit quick-build projects.
These investments are already delivering results for people who walk, bike or drive in San Francisco.
- On Geneva Avenue, safety upgrades and automated speed enforcement contributed to the lowest number of injury crashes recorded on the corridor in more than a decade in 2025.
- Safety improvements along Fulton Street between Arguello Boulevard and the Great Highway have helped reduce injury crashes by 53 percent compared to 2014 levels.
- After signal timing changes, street safety upgrades, and automated speed enforcement, injury crashes on Franklin Street from California to Bay dropped by half compared to 2014.
SAFER STREETS FOR MAJOR EVENTS
After the successes delivered at the end of 2025, the Streets Division started the year off by playing a critical role in supporting Super Bowl LX festivities, helping manage transportation and curb operations for one of the largest events hosted in the city in recent years.
During the week of Super Bowl events, SFMTA staff:
- Supported approximately 1.3 million visitors
- Accommodated 100,000 additional Muni trips
- Installed 3,800 temporary signs across 450 locations
- Deployed around 200 parking enforcement officers each day
- Issued 20 special event permits
These efforts helped ensure city streets remained safe, organized, and accessible during the citywide celebration, bolstering San Francisco as a world-class destination for visitors from around the world.
“Hosting an event as large and complex as Super Bowl LX required deep coordination, and the SFMTA was an invaluable partner in every step of the way,” said Zaileen Janmohamed, Bay Area Host Committee President & CEO. “Their leadership, planning expertise, and on-the-ground coordination helped ensure that residents, visitors, and event staff could move throughout San Francisco smoothly and safely during one of the busiest times the city has ever seen.”
SAFER STREETS FOR KIDS AND SCHOOLS
The Safe Routes to School program expanded during this timeframe, which combines street design, education, and community engagement to make school travel safer. During the current school year:
- School-related pedestrian collisions have declined 29 percent compared to the 2018 baseline.
- More than 19,000 students, parents, and community members participated in education and encouragement programs.
- More than half of San Francisco Unified School District students now walk, bike, take transit, or carpool to school.
“Parents across San Francisco want their kids to be able to get to school safely, whether that's by walking, biking, or taking transit," said SF Parents Coalition. "We are encouraged by the city's focus on safe routes to school, and hope that SFMTA continues to support our students on their daily commutes around San Francisco."
IMPROVING CURB ACCESS FOR BUSINESS
The SFMTA is also strengthening partnerships with local businesses through a new Merchant Walk-Through Program that works directly with neighborhood merchants to ensure curb regulations reflect current business needs.
- Noe Valley: Worked with 38 merchants to improve curb access, adding 10 general metered spaces, making 3 loading zone changes, and converting 12 short-term (green) spaces to general metered parking to better support local businesses.
- Castro: Partnered with 60+ merchants to relocate 5 commercial loading zones closer to businesses, add 3 new loading zones, and convert 18 short-term and motorcycle spaces to general metered parking.
- Union Square: Collaborated with the Union Square Alliance and loading zone sponsors to add 6 general metered parking spaces, with additional curb improvements planned following winter and spring outreach.
In the coming months, the Streets Division will continue preparing for major regional freeway rehabilitation projects led by Caltrans, while advancing local initiatives including new transit and safety projects on Fillmore Street, California Street, and the N Judah corridor. Key projects already underway include:
- Mission Bay Quick-Build: Adds traffic calming improvements to support safer travel to and from the new Mission Bay Elementary School, with installations planned in the coming months ahead of the school’s opening later this year.
- Clarendon Quick-Build: Essential pedestrian safety upgrades to calm streets around Clarendon Alternative Elementary School, slated for construction this summer.
- Winston Drive Quick-Build: improves safe access to transit, biking, and walking and is currently under construction, making it easier to reach and enjoy westside parks and destinations.
- Bayview Community Pathways: brings community-driven safety improvements to improve access to key destinations on and around Third Street, moving to a detailed design with more outreach to come.
Together, these efforts reflect the Streets Division’s ongoing commitment to safer streets, reliable transportation, and stronger connections across San Francisco. For more information, visit SFMTA.com.
