Transportation Pilot Improvements
Begins September 29, 2009
The City will be piloting several strategies to test ways to improve public transit reliability, to provide safe and improved experiences for pedestrians, and to create better connections between north and south districts and neighborhoods.
Beginning Tuesday, September 29, private vehicles on eastbound Market Street will be required to turn right at 8th and 6th Streets.
The purpose of the trial is to determine if discouraging through traffic on Market Street can improve transit and pedestrian conditions along the corridor.
Signs will be installed along eastbound Market Street starting at Van Ness Avenue encouraging drivers to turn off of Market on 10th Street in advance of reaching 8th Street, where the right turn will be required.
This trial will be effective all day, seven days a week. Pedestrians, cyclists, public transit vehicles, taxis, emergency vehicles and delivery vehicles will still have full access to Market Street.
This pilot program is the first of several pilot projects designed to determine how best to improve transportation conditions on the Market Street corridor. The City will closely monitor the changes to determine its impacts and will be refined as needed.
