Introduction
At the request of former District 11 Supervisor and Transportation Authority Board Member Ahsha Safai, the SFMTA used Neighborhood Program funds to implement quick and effective traffic calming measures at locations in District 11.
The SFMTA and the District 11 Supervisor's Office selected specific locations and improvement types based on technical factors, such as feasibility, documented safety issues, and proximity to community assets like schools and parks. Community outreach conducted through the Excelsior Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project and the Excelsior Neighborhood Strategy helped determine what improvements to make.
The Transportation Authority allocated Neighborhood Program funds for traffic calming in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 of the Neighborhood Program (see Allocation Request Forms below). The Transportation Authority also approved funding for the District 11 Traffic Calming and Sideshow Deterrence Project in 2024.
