Twin Peaks Now Has a Permanent Car-Free Road
Thanks to the SF Bike Coalition for letting us know something that slipped under our radar last week – after a 4-year pilot program, the SFMTA unanimously approved the permanent closing of the Eastern half of Twin Peak Boulevard to cars.
The dedicated eastern road is now permanently an open space to be enjoyed by walkers and bikers without competing with cars. The western road remains a 2-way street for cars.
This proposal makes permanent the Pilot closure of a portion of Twin Peaks Boulevard to motor vehicles, which was set to expire on May 31, 2020.
Finding that Twin Peaks Boulevard, eastern alignment, from Christmas Tree Point Road to the southern end of the “Figure 8” roadway is no longer needed for vehicular traffic pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 21101; and approving permanently closing Twin Peaks Boulevard to vehicular traffic except for bicycles and emergency vehicles, and changing the one-way direction of Twin Peaks Boulevard, western alignment, from Christmas Tree Point Road to the northern end of the “Figure 8” roadway to two-way as follows:
Twin Peaks Boulevard – Road Closure
ESTABLISH – ROAD CLOSURE, EXCEPT PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES
Twin Peaks Boulevard, eastern alignment, from Christmas Tree Point Road to 1,700 feet southerly (makes permanent the Pilot closure of northbound one-way portion of figure eight loop to vehicles)ESTABLISH – TWO-WAY STREET
Twin Peaks Boulevard, western alignment, from Christmas Tree Point Road to 1,500 feet southerly (continues two-way pilot roadway configuration)
