MUU California Street Safety Project

Street Changes Coming June 2020

The California Street Safety Project is improving safety for those traveling on California Street from Arguello Boulevard to 18th Avenue.

Beginning June 2020, SFMTA will be implementing changes to the traffic lanes on California Street from Arguello Boulevard to Park Presidio Boulevard. This “road diet,” will change the configuration from 4 lanes to 3 with center turn lane.

Why a road diet on California?

California Street is part of the city’s Vision Zero high-injury network, the 13% of city streets that account for 75% of severe and fatal collisions.

This section of California has had 73 injury collisions in five years with 7 involving pedestrians. In addition, there have been 35 Muni-involved collisions, many due to narrow lanes.

Example of a road diet on 25" Avenue

* Road diets reduce speeding and risk of collision by reducing the number of lanes ¢ Wider lanes provide room for safe operation of Muni vehicles

* Aseparate turn lane allows turning traffic to be separate from traveling traffic

¢ Fulton Street: Road diet reduced collisions by over 40%

¢ 25 Avenue: Road diet reduced collisions by 20%

MUU California Street Safety Project

What will construction look like?

e SFMTA crews will paint one-block sections of the corridor at a time, taking approximately 3- 6 week for the entire corridor

e The street will remain open to traffic and buses

Earlier this year, several safety elements for pedestrians were installed, including:

e Daylighting: Red painted curbs at intersection approaches to improve visibility for all road users (completed)

e Higher visibility zebra-striped continental crosswalks (completed)

e Updated pavement markings (completed)

How will SFMTA evaluate the project?

Starting in June 2020, we'll begin the 2-year evaluation of the project. The evaluation will include traffic and street- level data, such as changes in collisions, traffic volumes on California and side streets, and safe driving behavior. In addition to traffic and street-level data collection, we'll be collecting observational feedback from neighbors via email.

We heard extensive feedback during project outreach in 2019, and we'll be using that feedback to shape our evaluation and monitoring of the project. To learn more, visit SFMTA.com/CaliforniaSafety.
