Managing Access to the “Crooked Street”

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) is leading a study on managing access to the “Crooked Street” at the request of Supervisor Mark Farrell, District 2, as part of the Neighborhood Transportation Improvement Program (NTIP).  The purpose of the study is to identify and evaluate a range of options to manage visitor access and circulation on Lombard Street between Hyde and Leavenworth streets while maintaining the character of the block and avoiding spillover effects into adjacent streets. Project goals include:

• Managing pedestrian congestion
• Managing auto congestion
• Ensuring traffic safety
• Maintaining access to the “Crooked Block”
• Maintaining livability of the surrounding neighborhood
• Preserving tourism
• Implementing a financially-viable solution

SFCTA staff held a Community Open House with residents and others on September 13, 2016 at Yick Wo Elementary School. In addition to community meetings and technical work, the SFCTA is conducting an online survey about potential ways to manage access to the “Crooked Street.”
