Oak Street Quick Build Removes a Driving Lane and Parking

The Oak St Quick Build Project will go in front of the SFMTA Board for a final vote on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. The proposal includes adding a bike lane from Stanyan St to Baker St, removing an automobile lane (except for between Ashbury and Masonic), painted safety zones for daylighting and shortened crosswalk distances.

The Oak St Quick Build project will cost $1.3M of our hard earned taxpayer dollars. While at the same time increasing traffic congestion on a main artery that takes San Francisco residents to get from West to East on a daily basis.

By sending a note here today, your voice will be heard by the SFMTA Board and the Board of Supervisors. We urge you to participate and send the message below, so they understand the importance of not eliminating more automobile lanes!

Message to Mayor Lurie, Board of Supervisors, and SFMTA Board*

Dear SFMTA Board, &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Don't thwart San Francisco's recovery! As a taxpaying resident of San Francisco I urge you to vote against implementing the ill-conceived Oak Street Quick Build Project. The last thing San Francisco needs is more congestion and confusion on our roads.  &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;The project proposal page published by SFMTA also lacks transparency. It does not state that if this project does get approved it will eliminate an automobile lane, taking this major SF artery from 4 to 3 lanes between Stanyan St and Ashbury St. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Like other recent proposals that include reducing an automobile lane there is no cost benefit analysis and no data that clearly illustrates to the public the impact of this change.  There is no analysis of how much longer it will take to get from Point A to Point B on Oak Street. There is no analysis of what benefit the city gets from doing this project.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Of major importance here, there is already a bike/multi-use path adjacent to the new proposed bike lane that is included in the Oak Street Quick Build proposal. And, one street to the south, Page Street features bike lanes. This is an ideological and dangerous concept, not a sensible, resident-focused, functional city plan.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;As you might be aware, closing automobile lanes has led to increased disruption and traffic congestion on streets all over San Francisco - unnecessarily making life harder for the people who live here. Please do the job of exercising real oversight and stand up for residents of San Francisco.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;I kindly encourage you to please vote against the implementation of the Oak Street Quick Build Project. The public believes the fix is in and you will vote to approve this because of close connections with the bike coalition, prove us wrong, prove that you will stand up for regular San Franciscans.  Otherwise you will continue to lose trust.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Kind regards,&#13;&#10;
