Help Improve Safety Near Freeway Ramps

The Transportation Authority is conducting the Vision Zero Freeway Ramps Study to improve safety at 11 freeway ramps around town, including I-280 at Monterey, I-280 southbound and San Jose Avenue/Sadowa Street, and I-280 northbound and Alemany/San Jose.

The study aims to identify near-term improvements to slow speeds and enhance transportation safety. Feedback can be provided through a survey by May 19.

Town hall meetings will be held in May, including May 6 at the Potrero Hill Library, May 7 at the Portola Library, and May 15 at the Ingleside Library.

You can also share your feedback through a survey. Your feedback will help SFMTA develop safety improvements to slow speeds, reduce conflicts, and address the leading causes of crashes at freeway ramp locations. Take the survey to give input on current challenges and priorities. Give your feedback by May 19. The survey is also available in Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino

We will let you know soon about an SFMTA presentation on this at our next meeting.
