  • Improve pedestrian safety by adding countdown signals and wider sidewalks at street corners — “bulbouts” — to calm traffic, help pedestrians and drivers see each other, and shorten street crossings.
  • Help calm traffic by making a one-way street into a two-way street.
  • Improve the speed and efficiency of Muni by creating a more direct route with a new bus-only eastbound lane on Haight.

On Tuesday October 18, this project goes before the MTA Board.

SFMTA is proposing to fix the one-way block of Haight Street between Octavia and Gough, where Haight meets Market. The proposed project will make conditions safer for pedestrians by improving the three-way Haight-Gough-Market intersection and will speed up public transit by allowing buses to travel more directly along Haight, both ways. This is a good example of how our city can live up to its transit-first pedestrian-priority charter!

Support a two-way Haight at the meeting tonight or by emailing britt.tanner[at]sfmta.com.

Monday, June 20
6:15pm Open House
6:30 – 7:30pm Meeting
One South Van Ness (at Market St.), 2nd floor Atrium
