| The Market Street Study |
We have updated project implementation status!
The Market Street Study, led by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, is an examination of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle circulation issues on the two-mile length of Market Street between Justin Herman Plaza and Octavia Street. The purpose of the study is to address the following four goals while preserving Market Street's character and its preeminence as one of San Francisco's truly grand streets:
The intent of the Market Street Study is to identify a series of cost-effective short-term improvement measures that meet the above goals. The challenge is reaching consensus despite sometimes conflicting goals, and to produce a plan that can be implemented technically, politically, and financially. This Action Plan describes the recommended improvements, and lists them in different phases, providing a clear road map for implementation even if funding is limited. Where appropriate, some improvements are suggested for later implementation and/or follow-up studies. Implementation is underway!The following projects are outlined in the Market Street Action Plan as early-action and short-term items:
*TBD = several proposed projects in the Market Street Action Plan require further study to determine whether implementation is necessary because other short-term projects may be sufficient to address the same issues in the corridor; early projects will be evaluated as outlined in the Market Street Action Plan
Market Street Action Plan, Approved by the Authority Board on February 24, 2004The final product of the Market Street Study is the Action Plan, which describes a series of complementary, low cost improvements that can be implemented in the next one to five years to improve Market Street for transit users, cyclists and pedestrians while accommodating necessary motor vehicle traffic.
