1. A PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE
WINSTON DRIVE
A BETTER STREET
Prop AA Funding Proposal

2. Winston Drive connects and serves multiple
southwest communities
 Winston Drive is the priority link from
 the Lake to Muni

3. Pedestrian safety on Winston Drive impacts
many neighborhoods and institutions
 Neighborhoods
 Lakeshore
 Ingleside
 Park Merced
 University Park
North and South
 Commercial Districts
 Stonestown
 Schools
 San Francisco State
University
 Lowell HS
 Lakeshore
Elementary
 Mercy HS
 Recreational Areas
 Lake Merced
 3 Golf courses
 SF Zoo

4. “Take MUNI to the Lake”
Winston Drive is the link from Muni to Lake
Merced recreation sites

5. And… arriving in late 2015: SF State
Student Recreation and Wellness Center
We will need ~5000 safe pedestrian crossings/day

6. This project corrects significant deficiencies in
crosswalks and sidewalk connectivity
Installs sidewalk for Lowell HS
and Lakeshore Elementary
Opens closed campus-side
crosswalk
Corrects safety and access issues with low
visibility crosswalk due to street warp
Connects Buckingham and University Park
Improves pedestrian connections into Stonestown
Widens sidewalk at bus stop

7. Improving this corridor
better connects our city!

8. Let’s make it easier to visit “SF/SW”
our southwest coastal recreation area
 Winston Drive is the priority link from
 the Lake to Muni
Ocean
Beaches
The Zoo
Funston
Headlands
3 Golf
Courses
Dining at Stonestown, SF
State, Park Merced Jogging and
walking trails
Concerts at
Stern Grove

9. Better sidewalks will build the pedestrian
traffic that supports Stonestown and Muni

10. Let’s provide those sidewalks!

11. Remove obstacles to pedestrians

12. Widen existing sidewalks
for comfort and accessibilty
Two people can’t pass –
barely room for a wheelchair

13. Let’s open closed crossings

14. Add landscape plantings in islands
for safety and attractiveness

15. Lift a section of road edge
to level the road for pedestrian safety
Road currently slopes steeply to the north and west within the crosswalk area,
increasing vehicle speed and reducing visibility for pedestrians.
Project lifts road
to this desired
grade

16. Which will correct the steeply sloping
and non-compliant midblock crosswalk

17. And implement traffic calming
Add median or pedestrian bulbouts to provide refuge and
shorten the unprotected crossing distance

18. Maintain the comfortable bike lanes
Bike lanes are 6 ft wide for safety

19. And provide better sidewalk
clearance at our transit stops!

20. Every better street makes a better city
This project showcases effective coordination between public
agencies, neighborhood associations, and commercial
properties in a project that benefits the whole city.
