Project Description

Public Works began improvements at the intersection of Geary Boulevard and Park Presidio Boulevard in August 2018.  This project aims to provide a safer and more inviting environment for Muni passengers, pedestrians, runners and vehicular traffic at the intersection of Geary Boulevard and Park Presidio Boulevard. Our goal was to construct improvements and features that reflect the needs of the community and reinforce neighborhood identity. 

Project Description

The Mission and Trumbull Safety Improvements include realigning Trumbull Street to allow more conventional vehicular turns, pedestrian bulbouts to improve safety and roadway repaving from the intersection of Mission and Trumbull streets to Craut Street. Benefits for pedestrians include shorter crossing distances and better visibility. The new design will slow down vehicular traffic along Trumbell Street.
