The SFMTA just placed Page Street in a kind-of traffic jello. The throughway will join the ranks of 16 other permanent slow streets.
Page Street was adopted as a permanent slow street — meaning its features will slow and limit cut-through car traffic — by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s Board of Directors in a unanimous vote on Tuesday.
Slow Page Street’s backers described it Tuesday as not only a critical east-west route for bike commuters, but a cultural and community oasis where neighbors bump into one another on a leisurely stroll. “It was very much an impact on neighborhood quality of life and traffic safety at the boulevard,” Mark Dreger, SFMTA’s project manager for slow Page Street, told the Board on Tuesday.
Transit board sets future of S.F.'s famous slow streets The 16 slow streets approved on Tuesday are not necessarily the permanent scope of the program That history was relevant to the board’s discussion, although SFMTA says it has not tracked an uptick in congestion on streets around Page. “I empathize with folks who have to deal with that traffic on Oak — and on Fell — because it is a residential street, but that’s the street that formerly had on and off ramps and connects with the boulevard,” Dreger said.
