11th Street Improvement ProjectOpen House | SoMa StrEat Food Park

August 23, 2017

In the early 2000s the Hub neighborhood was included within the boundaries of the Market and Octavia Area Plan, adopted in 2008. In the plan, the Hub is characterized as “SoMa West”and envisioned as a “vibrant new mixed-use neighborhood.” The Plan specifically calls out 11th Street and provides recommendations for the corridor. Some of these recommendation include:

11TH ST: MARKET ST TO BRYANT ST11th Street is an important street for transit and bicycles connecting SoMa to Market Street. Currently the street has three lanes of traffic, including a center turn lane; bicycle lanes; and curb-side parking lanes. The center turning lane would be repurposed to create a parking protected bicycle lane in both directions, with shortened crosswalks and transit boarding islands, for a safer street for people taking transit and riding bikes.

D E S I G N S T R A T E G I E S

1. Redesign the street with transit boarding islands, corner bulbouts, and a parking-protected bike lane for the safety and comfort for all users

2. Reconfigure parking to accommodate curb-side bike lanes

3. Integrate new boarding islands with protected bike lanes

4. Add raised crosswalks at all alleys

5. Explore opportunities for public art on blank facades

6. Add infill street trees planting and, where appropriate, sidewalk greening

7. Upgrade pedestrian lighting along sidewalks

Proposed

» Repurposing the center turn lane to create a parking protected bicycle lane in both directions » Shortened crosswalks » Transit boarding islands » Exploring opportunities for public art on blank facades » Adding infill street trees and, where appropriate, sidewalk greening » Pedestrian scaled lighting

The Public Realm Plan sets forth a vision for how streets, alleys and open spaces could be designed in the Market Street Hub Plan Area. For most streets, the plan calls for a “complete streets” approach so that all modes of transportation can be accessed safe and conveniently to and from the neighborhood. Similarly, the design recommendations and strategies from the Plan align with the overall goals of the 11th Street Improvement Project to:

» Improve safety for all road users » Make 11th Street a better corridor for people who walk and bike » Improve connections to transit with enhanced transit stops

How does the 11th Street Improvement Project fit into the Market Street Hub Plan?

PROJECT AREA

11th Street is part of San Francisco’s High-Injury Network, where 13 percent of streets account for 75 percent of all severe and fatal traffic collisions. Between 2011 and 2015, 11th Street had 103 collisions, 79 involved injuries.

Three travel lanes that vary from two lanes northbound and one lane southbound or vice versa depending on the block.

A standard bike lane

Lack of loading zones that often results in blocking the travel or bike lanes

The potential improvements for 11th Street include a combination of physically-protected and buffered bike lanes. This potential design reflects the unique parking, loading and transit needs of each block, and is based on feedback received from local businesses and merchants.

PARKING AND CURB MANAGEMENT SFMTA.COM/11THSTREET

11th Street Improvement ProjectOpen House | SoMa StrEat Food Park

August 23, 2017

Improving safety conditions along the corridor is critical in making streets a more pleasant environment for people who walk, bike, drive and ride transit. In order for safety measures to be effective, trade-offs need to be considered, including parking and curbside management.

PARKING » 98 parking spaces could be repurposed to improve:

» Visibility » Business and passenger loading » Muni access and reliability

» Within one-block radius of 11th Street, an estimate of over 2,800 parking spaces are available to the public, including parking that is off- street, on-street and unmetered » With this project, 3.5 percent of the overall parking supply within this

radius will be diminished.

CURB MANAGEMENT AND LOADING » Passenger and commercial loading vehicles block the bicycle lane or travel

lane where there is inadequate loading zones on 11th Street » During summer 2017, the project team knocked on 37 doors and

received over 20 survey responses from local merchants and businesses about their loading needs » Six additional passenger loading zones along with other loading

improvements were a direct result from merchant feedback » Loading zones will vary in location and time of day to accommodate the

variety of needs along the corridor

Parking-Protected Bikeway » Bicycle lanes are to the right of parked

vehicles rather than left » Provides additional room for bicyclists

to pass each other » Reduces potential for dooring » Accommodates on-street parking and

loading needs

Two-Stage Turn Box » Clarifies where cyclists can turn left to

connect to other bicycle routes » Reduces conflicts between turning

cyclists and vehicles » Brings awareness to all road user of

where cyclists can be expected

Loading Zones » More effective use of curbside space to accommodate passenger

and commercial loading. » Allows for general parking during various time periods during the

day (please take a look at the rendering for more details)

Please take a look at the large 11th Street rendering in the center of the room for potential sites for improvements. Please note that improvements are subject to change pending the SF Fire Department’s approval.

The potential safety improvements will enhance the current experience for those who walk, bike, take transit and park and load along the corridor. In order to implement these changes, there are trade-offs that need to be considered to provide a safer environment for all road users. Below are some of the improvements under consideration to enhance safety along the corridor.

Intersection Daylighting » Increases the visibility of pedestrians

and cyclists at intersections » Helps children, seniors, and people

in wheelchairs be seen » Parking is restricted near crosswalks

intersections to increase visibility

Painted Safety Zones » Creates more distance between

turning vehicles and pedestrians waiting on the sidewalk » Increases more visibility between

vehicles and pedestrians stepping into the crosswalk » Encourage vehicles to slow down

during turns

Please take a look at the large 11th Street rendering in the center of the room for potential sites for improvements. Please note that improvements are subject to change pending the SF Fire Department’s approval.

Advanced Limit Lines » Provides extra space between

stopping vehicles and pedestrians in the crosswalk » Typically placed between 5 to 10

feet before crosswalks » Increases visibility of pedestrians

in the crosswalk to motorists and cyclists

Continental Crosswalks » Increases visibility to show where to

expect pedestrians at the intersection » Provides people who drive and bike a

visual cue of where to expect crossing pedestrians » Yellow continental crosswalks indicate

that you are nearby a school and should proceed with caution

The potential safety improvements will enhance the current experience for those who walk, bike, take transit and park and load along the corridor. In order to implement these changes, there are trade-offs that need to be considered to provide a safer environment for all road users.

11th Street Improvement ProjectOpen House | SoMa StrEat Food Park

August 23, 2017

The Folsom-Howard Streetscape Project will make SoMa more livable by making it safer and more pleasant to walk, bike, shop and live along Folsom and Howard streets.

While many long-term improvements will take years to put in place, we can start improving street safety with Near-Term Improvements on Folsom that can be installed this winter. These changes include parking-protected bikeways, daylighting intersections, and transit boarding islands. These improvements will shorten crossing distances for pedestrians and provide dedicated, protected space for bicyclists. To implement these changes on Folsom, about 26% of parking spaces will be removed to enhance safety and visibility.

These Near-Term Improvements will be considered for approval by the SFMTA Board of Directors on October 3rd.
