MTA updates in the neighborhood

Monday, May 1, 2023

 

We heard from wo divisions of MTAFirst Brian Liang told us us about the Neighborways projectSecond, Jeffery Banks gave us the rundown on The Lincoln Way Quick-Build Project 

Similar to but unlike Slow Streets, Neighborways are not partial or full street closures. Neighborways do not create walkways or recreation space for pedestrians in the active road, nor do they limit street access to local traffic only.

Some of the proposed Neighborways are on existing Slow Streets in District 4 and this effort will un-designate those existing Slow Streets and convert them into a Neighborways. Additionally, this effort will propose to create five additional Neighborways to create a network of preferred pedestrian and bicycling routes.

The Lincoln Way Quick-Build Project  will improve comfort and safety for people walking along or crossing Lincoln Way, between Arguello Boulevard and Great Highway. Improvements will consist of quick and reversible traffic safety improvements that prioritize active transportation modes, primarily walking through safe pedestrian facilities, signal timing improvements and curb management.
The final design will be guided by outreach to the Sunset community in collaboration with Supervisor Districts 4 and 7 in order to understand specific traffic safety and loading needs of the corridor.
