The SFMTA is currently undertaking a series of near-term spot improvements to address traffic safety issues in the Hairball area. While project changes were approved by the SFMTA Board of Directors in January 2024, installation is targeted to begin this fall – potentially late September.
 
The scope includes striping improvements, upgrading bikeways, and traffic calming. Specifically, the changes include:

• Intersection improvements at Bayshore Boulevard and Jerrold Avenue (including refreshing crosswalks, upgrading curb ramps, new ped push buttons)
• Two-way bikeway on one block of Bayshore Boulevard between Marin and Jerrold, separated by k-rail/jersey barriers (no parking or travel lane removal)
• Speed cushion on Bayshore Boulevard north of Marin Street
• Raised crosswalk on Bayshore Boulevard just south of Cesar Chavez Street
• Road diet and striping modifications on Cesar Chavez Street underneath US 101 (maintaining one lane between the US 101 southbound on-ramp and northbound Bayshore Boulevard right turn onto Cesar Chavez)

 
More information is available online at our project website, including our summer factsheet and a graphic that shows the location of these above street changes.
 

Construction at India Basin Shoreline Park (IBSP) is anticipated to begin on Tuesday, September 23. The park will be closed and fenced through early 2028, with construction noise, intermittent street and sidewalk closures, and pedestrian detours expected.

Please note that Bay Trail access between the PG&E Shoreline and India Basin Waterfront Park (IBWP) at 900 Innes will be closed; please use alternate routes.

This is the third and final phase of the IBWP project, which will renovate IBSP and connect it with the new park at 900 Innes Avenue to create a continuous 10-acre waterfront park.
