The Ortega Street Improvements project will design and implement traffic calming measures on Ortega Street between 19th Avenue and 47th Avenue to create a safer, more comfortable pedestrian and bicycle route. The traffic calming measures will improve traffic safety, improve comfort and calmness, and make the local street more inviting for neighborhood scale travel by walking and bicycling. San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency staff will develop detailed designs by drawing on work, findings, and recommendations in the San Francisco Transportation Authority’s District 4 Mobility Study.
