The long-delayed project to enhance safety on Oak Street in San Francisco is moving forward, with a final vote from the SFMTA board expected soon. Advocated by the North of Panhandle Neighborhood Association for a decade, the project aims to create a protected bike lane that mimics improvements on Fell Street. The design will eliminate 23 parking spaces to implement this bike lane, while also addressing the high-injury corridor at the intersection of Oak and Masonic. Updated traffic configurations will improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians alike.
The North of Panhandle Neighborhood Association has been advocating for improvements on Oak Street for a decade, aiming to mirror enhancements made on nearby Fell Street.
The SFMTA has finalized a quick-build project design for Oak Street, which will remove 23 parking spaces to make way for a protected bike lane.
As the project proceeds, some neighborhood opposition has quieted, leading to a final vote to approve $1.3 million for the bike lane and safety improvements.
Traffic lanes will be reduced from four to three to create safer conditions for pedestrians and cyclists at key intersections, particularly the dangerous area at Oak and Masonic.
