Project Information

The Haight Street of today is markedly different than the Haight Street of past generations but many aspects of the public realm remain relatively unchanged. The Upper Haight Transit Improvement and Pedestrian Realm project is based on a community-supported vision to revitalize the streets, sidewalks and public spaces in the historic Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. The future design of Haight Street will enable the greatest possible degree of flexibility by creating urban spaces that are able to evolve with the changing demands of the neighborhood.

The project limits span half a mile on Haight Street from Stanyan Street to Central Avenue. Haight Street's new design will build upon the unique local character of the shops, restaurants and murals found along the commerical corridor. 

The project includes sewer work, increased pedestrian lighting, tree planting, bulb-outs and curb ramps, bus bulbs, sidewalk replacement, fiber conduit work, street base repairs and repaving. Phase I of the project began in September 2018 and included the sewer main replacement work. Phase II includes the long term safety and streetscape improvements including pedestrian lighting, traffic signal work, tree planting, curb ramps, bus bulbs and more. Phase II began June 2019 and is expected to take approximately two years to complete. 

This project includes traffic/pedestrian signal upgrades at several key intersections along Haight Street. The intersections are:

•       Haight & Buchanan
•       Haight & Webster
•       Haight & Pierce
•       Haight & Scott
•       Haight & Broderick
•       Haight & Baker
•       Haight & Central
•       Haight & Clayton
•       Haight & Shrader
•       Haight & Stanyan
