Introduction
Please provide your feedback on proposed street safety improvements to the Inner Sunset neighborhood. These proposals are draft and your feedback will influence the final recommendations.

This survey will take approximately 10 – 15 minutes to complete. Respondents will be eligible to win a Clipper gift card!

Study Purpose:
The Inner Sunset Transportation Safety Study will identify ways to improve safety and access within the commercial core of the neighborhood, so residents and visitors can enjoy its many amenities.

Question Title

A map of the project study area (bounded by Lincoln Way, 5th Avenue, Judah Street, and 12th Avenue), which aligns with the Inner Sunset commercial core
The project goals are:
  • Prioritize Safety for Vulnerable Road Users
  • Improve Transit Reliability
  • Enhance Access to Key Destinations
  • Support Economic Vitality
Our first round of outreach occurred in late 2024 and we heard from nearly 2,000 people. Our overall findings were:
  • Respondents support the project goals
  • Generally, people have concerns about street safety and believe that nearly all intersections in the study area could benefit from improvements to address these safety concerns
  • Vehicle congestion and double parking impacts everyone, including people driving, walking, rolling, and cycling
  • There were three top priorities for improvements from respondents:
    • Improve walking infrastructure such as better visibility at crosswalks, signage, or wider sidewalks
    • Improve the reliability of Muni
    • Improve car access, i.e. improvements so cars can travel to and through the area more easily
Inspired by the outreach findings and analysis of safety, transit, and traffic data, we drafted concepts to improve the transportation network. Each of the concepts presented here reflects feedback we heard during outreach, and has passed a technical evaluation that shows it has the potential to accomplish some or all of the project goals.

The eight concepts are organized in the timeframes they could be implemented:

Near-term, 1 – 2 years
Relatively simple improvements that can be designed and implemented within one to two years, provided that there is support from community members to advance.

Mid-term, 2 – 5 years
Conceptual designs for improvements that, if they have enough projected benefit and community support, could move forward for further planning and construction in two to five years. Additional outreach and opportunities to provide input will be available as designs and specifics develop.

Long-term, 5+ years, additional study and funding required
Long-term concepts are not proposals for implementation, but rather for the additional study of transformative street changes that could make major improvements to safety, access, and transit dependability. If there is community support to advance these ideas, they would require coordination across many agencies, significant additional outreach and community engagement, design, and funding. An ultimate decision on whether or not to move forward to implementation would come only after this additional study, coordination, and engagement.

On the following pages, we’ll present information and ask for your feedback on each concept, by time period.
