1 Better Market Street Project Update Urban Forestry Council September 17, 2014

2 Project Area Limits

3 Better Market Street Schedule

4 Market Street City s busiest transit corridor Over 85 buses per hour 14 surface transit lines + BART+ Muni Metro 250k daily transit boardings City s busiest bicycling thoroughfare and busiest pedestrian street 85k pedestrians per weekend day between 4 th and 5 th 67 Muni-Auto collisions on Market ( ) 53 Bike/Ped-Auto collisions on Market ( ) Bicycle numbers have doubled since 2006

5 Market Street Sfgate.com

6 Creating a synergy between transport and place How to make a mobility corridor that works for 21 st Century and a grand civic and commercial boulevard? Studying 3 alternatives with substantial improvements to: safety accessibility pedestrian conditions cycling facility transit service and stops invitations for street life

7 Projected Jobs Growth by ,000 new workers JOB ADDITION BY PLAN Through 2035 (approx. 25%) 412,000 more daily car trips (~= current combined AM volume of Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge crossings)

8 Projected Housing Growth by ,000 new households HOUSING ADDITION BY PLAN Through 2035 (approx. 15%) 412,000 more daily car trips (~= current combined AM volume of Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge crossings)

9 Market Street & Transit Modes Central role in connecting existing and future transit modes and projected growth in employment and housing.

10 City s Goals Transit Capacity Muni Forward and Transportation Transportation Bond & 2016 Vehicle License Fee for streets and transportation funding sources ($1.5 billion) Building Core Capacity of Muni s super-trunk-line to support planned housing and job growth in San Francisco Safety Vision Zero Zero traffic fatalities within 10 years Bicycle Capacity SFMTA Bicycle Strategy 8-10% mode share by 2018; currently 3.5% Street Life Market Street Revamp 1970s streetscape into premier civic and commerical corridor for SF Bring activity and energy to sidewalks and plazas

11 Pedestrian Improvements Simplifying north side intersections to make it easier and safer to cross Eliminating two-stage crossings Shortening crossing distance Changing cross streets to right angles Extending sidewalks to shorten crossings (i.e. bulb outs) Create Streetlife zones to allow people to use Market Street as a public space seating, plantings, activities, kiosks, etc.

12 Bicycling Improvements Automobile restrictions to reduce conflicts Safer, more legible and appealing cycling facility along length of the corridor: Market Street improved shared lane Market Street raised cycletrack Mission Street cycletrack with buffer Clearly marked pedestrian crossings & special paving at heavy pedestrian crossings to slow bicycles The cyclist is more engaged in and aware of pedestrians and Streetlife

13 Transit Improvements Wider and longer transit boarding islands ADA accessible curb ramps and streetcar access ramps (mini-highs) at all boarding islands Center-running rapid service (5L, 9L, 38L, 71L, F) with Munionly lanes and consolidated and relocated stops to improve transit efficiency Moderate increase in space between local stops Generally farside stops to reduce signal delay Automobile restrictions to reduce conflicts

14 Studying 3 alternatives in environmental review All 3 alternatives include substantial improvements to pedestrian conditions, cycling facility, transit service and stops and invitations for street life. Alternative 1 Market Street. Alternative 2 Market Street (Moderate) Alternative 3 Mission Street + Market Street Alternatives 1 and 2 each include two design options for Market Street s bicycle facility: design option A (Shared Lane) and design option B (Cycle Track.) Alternative 3 is paired with design option A (Share Lane).

15 Design Option A Market Street shared lane TO UPDATE

16 Design Option B - Market Street cycle track

17 Separated Bike Facility

18 Alternative 3 Market Shared Lane + Mission Street cycle track

19 Streetlife Zone

20 Market Street 1 st Street to 2 nd Street Option 2

21 Increase Capacity and Speed through Design and Operations Transit optimization + Auto restrictions + Separate bicycle facility + Transit signal priority = Anticipated transit improvement of 15-20% local, 20-25% Rapid

22 Existing Transit Stop Spacing Octavia to 5 th St. Proposed DRAFT

23 Existing Transit Stop Spacing 5 th St. to Embarcadero Proposed (F-ADA only) (F-no ADA) DRAFT

24 Private Vehicle Restrictions Proposed vehicle restrictions stem from project goals, and will: Improve bicycle, pedestrian and transit safety by reducing conflicts Improve transit travel time by reducing congestion Buses, taxis, commercial vehicles, bicycles and paratransit would be exempt from vehicle restrictions

25 Analysis of Collision Trends Market has collision rate >4 times higher than Mission Street More collisions caused by cars going straight 100% Auto vs. Bike/Ped Collisions Street of At-Fault Vehicle 80% 60% 40% 20% Automobile: Other Automobile: Through Movement cross street 29% Market St 71% 0% Market Mission

26 Collisions Vehicle-Vehicle Collisions west of Civic Center Pedestrian-Vehicle Collisions East of Civic Center 26

27 Collisions Pedestrian collisions from 8th Street to 3rd Street Transit boarding islands a bigger factor at 7th, 6th, and 5th Streets. 27

28 Traffic Volumes on Market at 8th 100% 80% 60% Private Auto 585 (41%) Taxi 90 (6%) Truck 60 (4%) Private Auto 819 (23%) Taxi 126 (4%) Bicycle 618 (17%) Truck 60 (2%) Users/vehicle: 1 user/bicycle or truck 1.4 users/auto (MTC) 1.4 users/taxi (NYC) 30 users/bus (SFMTA) 1418 vehicles, 3573 users 40% 20% Bicycle 618 (44%) Bus 1950 (55%) 0% Bus 65 (5%) Vehicles Users

29 Proposed Western Vehicle Restrictions (Private vehicles only; buses, taxis, bicycle, trucks, paratransit exempt) DRAFT

30 Proposed Eastern Vehicle Restrictions (Private vehicles only; buses, taxis, bicycle, trucks, paratransit exempt) DRAFT

34 Next Steps on Environmental Review Notice of Preparation of EIR 1/14/14 Public scoping meeting on 2/4/14 Analyze potential environmental impacts Disclose impacts for public review Support policy decision All Proposed Alternatives will include: Support City splanned growth and economic development. Provide faster and more reliable transit service. Improve safety, comfort and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists. Create thriving public spaces that attract a diversity of people and uses.
