Wiggle Neighborhood Green Corridor Project Proposal

Green Infrastructure helps manage stormwater onsite before

it enters the sewer system and also provides livable city
benefits like neighborhood beautification. Green Infrastructure
locations were selected based on input from the community
combined with analysis of slopes and soil conditions.

Hayes St

BULB-OUTS extend the sidewalk at

intersections, reducing the distance to cross
the street and increasing visibility between
pedestrians and people in the roadway.
Bulb-outs also make corners sharper,
ensuring that right-turning
bicyclists and
Fell St
motorists take the turn slowly.

An extra-large bulb-out at Scott and

Fell will act as a TRAFFIC DIVERTER,
requiring southbound automobile traffic
to turn onto Fell Street; bicycle riders
and pedestrians can continue on Scott.
This will reduce Scott Streets appeal
as a cross-town route, making it a more
pleasant place to walk, bike, and live.
Access will be maintained to all homes
and driveways.

Traffic signals on DIVISADERO will be

coordinated in the southbound direction,
and some left turns will be prohibited.
These improvements combine to make
Divisadero flow more smoothly so that it
becomes the preferred cross town route
for drivers who currently use Scott Street
or other parallel residential streets.

RAISED CROSSWALKS bring the level

of the roadway to that of the sidewalk,
forcing roadway users to slow down
before passing over the crosswalk.

WAYFINDING measures such as signs,

green bike lanes, and green shared
lane markings or sharrows (shown),

will continue to be used to help riders
navigate the Wiggle. New markings will
be added at tricky intersections like

a variety of physical treatments

that signal to roadway users that
they should go slowly and expect
pedestrians and bicyclists. Based
on feedback from the community,
the SFMTAs top priority in this
neighborhood is to ensure that
pedestrians crossing the street are
seen and given the right-of-way by
people biking and driving. A traffic
diverter at Scott and Fell takes
some automobile traffic off the
route, enhancing the residential
character of the street and making it
more comfortable for bicycle riders.

The intersection of SCOTT AND PAGE will

incorporate textured paving or artwork
on the pavement to highlight pedestrian
crossings and encouage slow traffic
through the intersection. Paving patterns
could help guide and organize turning
cyclists.

Traffic Calming measures include

RAIN GARDENS incorporated into bulbouts capture stormwater runoff from

streets, roofs, and parking lots. Plants
and soil absorb water, reducing the
amount of runoff to the sewer system.
