 Presentation

• EN-TRIPS project update

• Existing Conditions/
Systems Overview

• Discussion on Issues
and Opportunities

3
 Project Update
EN-TRIPS will:
• Perform technical analysis to determine
existing and future circulation needs based on
land use growth/change
• Select Critical Transportation Projects
• Determine Conceptual Designs for Projects
• Environmentally Clear Select Projects
• Develop Funding and Implementation Strategy

Project is completing Step 1 and beginning

modeling for Step 2.
4
 Project Update
EN TRIPS is mandated by Board of Supervisors to
address following corridors:

• 16th Street
• Folsom Street/SOMA circulation
• Townsend Street

Connectivity to key transportation sites
 Transit Network

•Most menu of transit modes and services (Muni, BART, Caltrain, Ferry, Samtrans etc)
compared to the rest of the city ????????????

•Existing connectivity/augmentation/duplicity with recent transit, perception of safety and

door to door convenience, not open to all EN residents, employee and general public
????????????????????????

 Bicycle Network (rethink this slide?)

But existing bicycle

lane network and
bicycle parking gaps

24
High level of bicycle use compared to the rest of SF
 Bicycle Network (rethink this slide?)

But existing bicycle

And freeway
entrances and motor
vehicles speed
challenge bicycling

25
High level of bicycle use compared to the rest of SF
Bicycle Network (rethink this slide?)
How easy can I join
main transportation
sites with my bike ?

26
Bicycle experience has many challenges
 Bicycle Network (rethink this slide?)
5min
How easy can I join
main transportation
sites with my bike ?
12min

I did it with existing

bike lanes or sharows
< 10min
LOST =
21min
Also possible with
other existing lanes

12min

< 15min

27
Bicycle experience has many challenges
Bicycle Network (rethink this slide?)

But an uncomfortable area to bike

But freeway barriers

But physical barriers

At least missing
easy routes for bikes

28

 Bicycle Parking

29
Need for Developments to Include Bike Parking
Taxis (show anything else?

(what to say or show?)

- Continue and Finalize Modeling of Existing
and Future Travel Behavior due to Land Use
Changes
- Distribute Report to Task Force
