Project Updates (2/11/2025)
SFMTA paint crews and contractors are on schedule to activate the new traffic signal at Sloat and Skyline by the end of February. PG&E has provided power, and SFMTA crews have substantially completed paint work at the intersection.
Sloat & Skyline Intersection Alternatives Analysis (2017) was a planning-level project to evaluate design options to improve traffic safety and operations where Sloat Boulevard, Skyline Boulevard (CA-35), and 39th Avenue intersect.
The primary goals of the project were to:
- Improve safety for all road users
- Increase the visibility of people walking and bicycling and reduce intersection conflict points
- Improve or maintain transit and vehicle circulation at the intersection
This project sought to identify options to make the intersection a more inviting, safe, and comfortable experience for all users. SFMTA staff worked with a consultant team to evaluate two high-level design concepts to improve traffic flow and safety at the Sloat and Skyline intersection — one considering adding a traffic signal and the other a roundabout. Since two of the three approaches to the junction are under Caltrans jurisdiction, staff engaged state traffic engineers to evaluate the specific trade-offs of the two concepts. Subsequent to the study, the SFMTA, in coordination with Caltrans partners, advanced design and funding for a new traffic signal as the preferred alternative for the intersection.
SFMTA also has planned and legislated the Sloat Blvd Quick-Build Project, which will improve safety and enhance active-travel options on Sloat Boulevard between Skyline Boulevard and the Great Highway, connecting Lake Merced, the San Francisco Zoo, and Ocean Beach. The project will upgrade pedestrian crossings, add a two-way protected bikeway, improve accessibility, and consider other measures to reduce vehicle speeds while keeping traffic moving. This project will connect directly to the Sloat and Skyline intersection.
