The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has launched a community perception survey for the Slow Street on Lombard Street. Over the next month, the SFMTA wants to hear from residents and community members about their thoughts on the Slow Street, whatâs working, whatâs not working, and to provide input on its future. Interested community members can access the survey via scanning the QR code below or accessing the link: SFMTA.com/SlowLombardSurvey. The survey will be live until early to mid-April 2021.
The SFMTA announced and implemented the Slow Streets program back in mid-April 2020. Streets designated as a Slow Street aim to limit and reduce through traffic and encourage slower vehicles speeds. This creates a street that is calmer and safer for shared usage in the middle of the road by people walking, biking, exercising, or driving.

considering the ‘normal’ amount of traffic on this block of Lombard, I think it was a very poor excur=se to use as a slow street. what with the pool not open at this time, there wouldn’t be ANY extra traffic anyway. I think it would have showed more meaningfulness to pick a ‘busy’ block! say something more towards columbus and vallejo, stockton or in the more commercial area of North Beach. I laugh (and wonder) each time I walk by this block, which is usually a few times a day
