Webster -2 This makes boarding faster and saves time at each stop, making every passenger s journey shorter. -3 Market and Haight Transit and Pedestrian Improvements to be completed in LEFT NO TURN STOP C R CLEAR CLEAR C AR KEEP KEEP TAXI OONLY ONLY TAXI LEFT ONLY TAXI ONLY STOP TTURN Haight Haight Provides space at current flag stops for local buses to pull completely out of traffic when stopping. Customers would no longer have to wait on the sidewalk and board the bus in the street. Would reduce conflicts between eastbound buses pulling into the stop and bicyclists riding along the right side of the street. current location 8 STOP +44 Fillmore einer Pierce Scott -2 Saves time and makes Muni more reliable. Would save time and help make Muni service more reliable. Would reduce conflicts between eastbound buses pulling into the stop and bicyclists riding along the right side of the street. at A bus-only lane gives Muni vehicles their own lane separate from regular traffic. This helps Muni bypass traffic jams, which saves time and improves reliability. Allows right turning autos to clear the through travel lane, reducing the delay buses experience due to heavy traffic.

New Transit Only Signal from Haight onto (both directions) at Buchanan (eastbound) A bus-only signal gives Muni a green light before the rest of traffic, allowing Muni to bypass a line of cars waiting at the light instead of waiting for room to merge into traffic. Vehicles waiting to turn left block Muni buses trying to go straight through the intersection Left turning vehicles are responsible for many pedestrian-auto collisions, so restricting left turns in an an area with lots of pedestrians makes walking safer on Haight. Enables bus to reach transit only lane in center from the curbside stop at Buchanan. Would save time and improve reliability.

Based on feedback from the community, the SFMTA s top priority in this neighborhood is to ensure that pedestrians crossing the street are seen and given the right-of-way by people biking and driving. A traffic diverter at Scott and Fell takes some automobile traffic off the route, enhancing the residential character of the street and making it more comfortable for bicycle riders.

Green Infrastructure locations were selected based on input from the community combined with analysis of slopes and soil conditions. BULB-OUTS extend the sidewalk at intersections, reducing the distance to cross the street and increasing visibility between pedestrians and people in the roadway. Bulb-outs also make corners sharper, ensuring that right-turning bicyclists and Fell motorists take the turn slowly. Traffic signals on DIVISADERO will be coordinated in the southbound direction, and some left turns will be prohibited. These improvements combine to make Divisadero flow more smoothly so that it becomes the preferred cross town route for drivers who currently use Scott reet or other parallel residential streets.

This will reduce Scott reet s appeal as a cross-town route, making it a more pleasant place to walk, bike, and live. Access will be maintained to all homes and driveways.
