Project outreach will consider all roadway-user perspectives and neighborhood needs, in addition to bicyclist and pedestrian safety. These improvements will support the City’s Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic deaths. Corridor-wide improvements may include lane reductions, curb management, and protected bikeway facilities. Examples of possible improvements may include new roadway striping, crosswalk upgrades, additional signage, modification of traffic lanes, yield teeth, or reallocation of curb space. Quick-build projects primarily consist of paint, signage, and parking/loading adjustments. Quick-build projects focus on implementing safety improvements on streets identified on San Francisco's Vision Zero High Injury Network (HIN). Roadway safety and comfort continue to be leading barriers to offering bicycling and walking as a viable option for more people. The project is motivated by the city’s goals related to mode shift towards more sustainable and climate-friendly transportation options, detailed in San Francisco’s Climate Action Plan and the SFMTA’s Strategic Plan and Transit First policy. The project will prioritize the safety of cyclists and pedestrians and consider the varied needs of this mixed-use neighborhood, which includes large multi-family residences, eateries, parks, retail, commercial, manufacturing, services, and nightlife. This section of roadway is a key connection in San Francisco’s bikeway network, linking areas east-like the Dogpatch and Mission Bay-with neighborhoods to the west, such as the Mission and Lower Haight. The 17th Street Quick-Build Project aims to implement safety and comfort improvements on 17th Street between Potrero and Pennsylvania Avenues.
