Doyle Drive has how been re-envisioned as the Presidio Parkway-a roadway tucked into the natural contours of the Presidio of San Francisco and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, one of the nation's largest urban parks. It will create a spectacular regional gateway between the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and the City of San Francisco. It has been carefully designed to be context sensitive, improve access to the Presidio of San Francisco, and include the unique features of a parkway, rather than a freeway:

• A parkway design including two short tunnels, a wide landscaped median and traffic calming transitions to city streets.
• A spectacular regional gateway that respects the natural contours of the surrounding area and complements the unique environment of San Francisco and the Presidio, a national park.
• New direct access to the Presidio and enhanced views.
• A more centralized location for transit connections.
• Enhanced pedestrian connections within the Presidio to the Main Post, Crissy Marsh, the National Cemetery, and historic batteries.
• Reduced light and noise intrusion at Crissy Field.

The Presidio Parkway project is jointly led by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). In addition to funding provided from the Authority's Prop K transportation sales tax and the State of California, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District have committed regional funding to the project.
