SFMTA Street and Walkway Changes: Here’s What You Need to Know

The Sansome/Battery/Davis Connections Project is the first stage of the larger Embarcadero Enhancement Project to make transportation and pedestrian improvements along both sides of the Embarcadero. See www.SFMTA.com/SansomeBattery and fact sheet for more information.
At two community meetings (3/6/19 and 3/7/19), the most up-to-date plans for the business and residential communities from the north and south ends of the Barbary Coast Neighborhood areas were presented. See 3/6/19 SFMTA presentation on Updates to the project.
Based on collective feedback, a few changes have been made to the project as originally introduced but some concerns have not been addressed. See Full Report of Community Concerns and SFMTA Modifications.

The Sansome/Battery/Davis Streets Project will be voted on by the SFMTA Board 4/16/19 (Tuesday, 1pm at City Hall, Rm 400). If approved, some changes will start in May (signage/striping) with capital improvements starting Summer 2019.
There is still time to submit concerns and suggestions for traffic, transportation, and pedestrian improvements in the Barbary Coast Neighborhood whether part of the Sansome/Battery/Davis Streets Project or another part of our neighborhood. Changes are all data driven so SFMTA needs to hear from those of us who live and work here.

Comments on the Sansome/Battery/Davis Project should be sent NOW (BEFORE APRIL 16th) by email to sustainable.streets@sfmta.com or mark.dreger@sfmta.com (with the subject “SFMTA Board of Directors”) or by postal mail to SFMTA Board of Directors, 1 South Van Ness Avenue, 7th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103. Submissions are public record and will be taken to the attention of the SFMTA Board.
