Nine Principles

  • 1. Institutionalize Inclusive Engagement and Co-Design
  • 2. Design a Wide Buffer Area, At Least Five Feet
  • 3. Ensure the Buffer Area Is Obstacle-Free
  • 4. Build Raised Pedestrian Crossings Across the Bike Lane
  • 5. Install Robust Speed Management Features at Bike Lane Crossings
  • 6. Make Crossings High-Visibility
  • 7. Ensure There Are Access Points to/from the Curb At Least Every 100 Feet
  • 8. Ensure That Quick-Build Projects Include Sidewalk Curb Ramps
  • 9. Include Accessible Loading Islands When No Paratransit Access or Parking

Safety

Most of The Embarcadero is on San Francisco’s High Injury Network, representing the city’s 13 percent of streets that account for 75 percent of severe and fatal traffic collisions. Between 2014 and 2019, 242 people were injured by traffic on The Embarcadero including two fatalities. The vast majority of collisions occur at

  • intersections. Nearly 40% of all

victims (92) were people on a bicycle, despite being approx. 5% of all traffic.* The drive behind Vision Zero is that these deaths and injuries are preventable and unacceptable.

Vision Zero High-Injury Network

*Remaining victims include 26 pedestrians, 122 drivers/passengers (including one fatality at Bryant Street), and 2 “other”

What We Heard

  • Accommodate Loading/Unloading
  • Wide and Welcoming Bikeway
  • Think ‘Big’
  • Adapt to Best Uses of Curb (Right-of-Way)
  • Details Matter
  • Provide Flexibility
  • Accommodate Larger Vehicles / Lane Widths
  • Fisherman’s Wharf/Pier 39 Area Needs Separate

Folsom to Mission Quick-Build Proposal

Protected Bikeway:

Short segment of two-way, water-side bikeway helps connect Ferry Terminal users with rapidly expanding SOMA protected bicycle network; also allows preview/testing of new bikeway concept, including bike signals

Safer Pedestrian Crossings:

Right-turn on red restrictions, ‘painted safety zones,’ one block of vehicle lane reduction to calm busy intersections; calmer promenade with reduced bicycle/scooter traffic

Spot Pavement Repair:

Smoother, safer rides for everyone

Design Decision Tree

49 Feb 2020

Design Direction - Circulation

Recently completed with Sansome-Battery Connections Project Embarcadero Enhancement Project (all else, including NB 3rd lane removal) Howard/Embarcadero Quick- Build Project (Proposed)

Planning Phase Assumptions

  • Maintain two vehicle through lanes (except at NB approach to Bay Street)
  • Seek to remove double-turn lanes if feasible (except at Bay Street)
  • Simplify select intersections for safety, bikeway design, and/or for

efficiency/transit travel time
