The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) will update neighbors on the J Church Improvement Project at the Upper Noe Neighbors meeting January 15, 7 pm, at Upper Noe Recreation Center, 295 Day Street.
Significant proposals include: removing the inbound stop at 30th and Church, adding a traffic light at Cesar Chavez, and removing parking, as described in a UNN letter below (includes their comments):
Here are the proposed parking spaces slated for removal and our comments:
Church/Valley SW corner (2 angled spaces on Valley)
Two spaces seems excessive for public safety. One would be sufficient. Has no MUNI stop.
Church/Valley NE corner (1 space on Church)
Completely unnecessary. Does not increase visibility to oncoming traffic. Has no MUNI stop.
Church/Valley NE corner (1 space on Valley)
Does increase visibility to oncoming traffic. Has no MUNI stop.
Church/28th SW corner (1 space on 28th)
Does increase visibility to oncoming traffic. Has no MUNI stop.
Church/28th SW corner (1 space on Church)
Completely unnecessary. Does not increase visibility to oncoming traffic. Has no MUNI stop.
Church/28th NE corner (1 space on 28th)
Does increase visibility to oncoming traffic. Has no MUNI stop.
Church/Duncan SW corner (1 space on Duncan)
Does increase visibility to oncoming traffic. Has no MUNI stop.
Church/Duncan SW corner (1 space on Church)
Completely unnecessary. Does not increase visibility to oncoming traffic. Has no MUNI stop.
Church/Duncan NE corner (1 space on Church)
Completely unnecessary. Does not increase visibility to oncoming traffic.
Church/27th NW corner (2 spaces on Church at outbound J Church car stop)
Church/Clipper NW corner (2 spaces on Church at outbound J Church car stop)
Does increase visibility to oncoming traffic but two spaces at each stop seems excessive. One space at each stop for day lighting would be adequate. Driveway curb cuts and a striped buffer already provide passenger access.
In the map below, the Yellow Lines show locations proposed for daylighting at corners that would have parking impacts. The Green Lines show locations proposed for safety upgrades at stops that would have parking impacts. While there may be pedestrian safety improvements at other locations, only those with parking impacts are shown.
