4/30 Mtg Summary

May 2, 2025 by Heather World

 


Thanks to everyone who came out to the Glen Park Association quarterly meeting last night, and we hope you can make our next quarterly meeting in July – stay tuned for more details. As promised, we wanted to share a quick recap of resources provided:

1. San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA)
The SFCTA has a federal grant to study high-injury freeway ramps and implement safety improvements on them. They want feedback on your experience of the ramps.

The focus is on specific ramps, including three near Glen Park, but presenter Aliza Paz said there is room on the online survey to give feedback about other freeway ramps as well.

Link to the survey (in English)
Link to information about the project, including solutions implemented at other ramps in a previous phase of the grant.

Unfortunately, the ramp that troubles Glen Park the most, the ramp from Bosworth onto the freeway at Arlington, is not on the list of targeted ramps.

2. SFMTA and SFPD Updates
SFMTA Traffic Engineer Ricardo Olea said the city does not have money to install solutions like a traffic signal or a round-about on the freeway onramp at Bosworth and Arlington. He said re-striping must be coordinated with work SF Public Works is doing to repave the area, so it might not be re-striped until the fall.

There was much talk of improving the safety of the Diamond/Bosworth intersection through traffic signal timing. Unfortunately that intersection is constrained by its small footprint, the need for a dedicated left turn lane, and pedestrian safety. Many changes have been considered by SFMTA but all involve significant trade offs.

SFPD Commander Nicole Jones, who is in charge of traffic enforcement across the city, promised to direct more resources to prevent dangerous driving along Bosworth, some of those resources coming in the form of a chicken costume. Apparently even an adult dressed as a chicken does not deter some people from ignoring pedestrians at a crosswalk, so feathered officers issue citations. She also offered to position an empty police cruiser along Bosworth, which deters speeding.

Jones encouraged neighbors to report repeat patterns of bad behavior (of a Waymo, of rideshare, of drivers). Please note the date, the time, the offense and the location and send that information to both her (nicole.h.jones@sfgov.org) and to Ingleside Captain Amy Hurwitz (amy.hurwitz@sfgov.org) together.

Olea encouraged us to report misinformation on map applications to SFMTA via the SF311 app, as the agency can reach out to Google and Waze to correct it.

With regard to people bombing down Elk Street and flying through the stop sign at Chenery and Elk, Olea seemed open to the idea of prioritizing the southeast curb of Elk Street for red paint to improve visibility.

If these issues interest you, we encourage you to please join the GPA transportation committee. The transportation committee needs people to liaise with SFMTA on behalf of one or all of these issues, or send an occasional email updating the board and membership on Glen Park traffic issues. When we contact the city as one voice (“Hi, I’m Jane Doe with the Glen Park Transportation Committee, following up on progress with re-striping the Bosworth crosswalk”) we are a stronger voice than individuals reaching out separately. Joining a committee doesn’t have to mean tons of meetings. It just means being part of a bigger whole for the greater good. Reach out to Committee Chair Steve Green by emailing transportation@glenparkassociation.org
