Project Introduction

Somerset Street from Silver Avenue to Woolsey Street in the Portola was approved as a Slow Street by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Board on December 6, 2022. This corridor had initially been implemented as a COVID-19 Response Slow Street in 2021. Following the SFMTA Board’s approval of Somerset Street, the SFMTA Project team is conducting updated data collection and analysis to assess how the street is performing against the Slow Streets Program criteria: 

  • Vehicle speeds at or below 15 mph 
  • Vehicle volumes less than 1,000 per day 

The Program team looks forward to sharing the results of this data collection soon, along with next steps for working with the community on a design concept for the corridor.
