Page Slow Street Share this: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Project Introduction The Page Slow Street Project extends on Page Street between Stanyan Street (near the eastern edge of Golden Gate Park) to Octavia Boulevard. Page Street is an important corridor for the Haight-Ashbury, Lower Haight, Hayes Valley, and surrounding neighborhoods. It is is one of the City's most important and popular east-west active-transportation corridors. In San Francisco's General Plan, Page Street is both a designated bike route and a Green Connection because of its connectivity to schools and parks. Background The SFMTA implemented and evaluated the Page Street Bikeway Improvements pilot from 2020 through 2022, which included restrictions on freeway-bound traffic and bikeway upgrades between Webster Street and Octavia Boulevard. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SFMTA also added temporary measures to limit through traffic westward to Stanyan Street as part of the COVID-19 emergency Slow Streets Program . After over two years of outreach and evaluation, on January 27th, 2023, the SFMTA Board adopted adding Page Street to the ongoing Slow Streets Program . They also approved the installation of a new traffic diverter at Divisadero Street. Page Neighborway (related capital project) The Page Neighborway capital project is constructing sidewalk extensions, rain gardens, and a traffic-calmed intersection between Webster and Gough streets. In 2018, the SFMTA Board of Directors approved capital improvements at three intersections – Gough, Laguna, and Buchanan streets. This work includes six sidewalk extensions (four of which will consist of landscaped rain gardens) and a traffic-calmed intersection at Page and Buchanan streets. The project costs approximately $2.5 million and is funded with developer impact fees, Prop AA funds, proceeds from the sale of Central Freeway parcels, and other SFMTA revenues. Ongoing maintenance for the landscaped rain gardens (also known as 'green infrastructure) will be provided by the SF Public Utilities Commission. Construction of these improvements is currently underway and expected to be complete by spring 2023.
