Would reducing a traffic lane on Geary divert traffic to nearby streets?
The environmental analysis will evaluate traffic impacts and diversions in detail. Preliminary analysis shows that some drivers will switch to transit or walking, while others will continue to drive, though they may change the time of day they travel to avoid peak periods. We also expect that many drivers will continue to use Geary because it has fewer stop signs than surrounding streets. Planners will work with concerned neighbors to identify traffic calming improvements on nearby streets as needed.
