Whether or not the City Traffic Engineer’s decision is considered a Final SFMTA
Decision is determined by Division II, Section 203 of the Transportation Code.
If the City Traffic Engineer approves a parking or traffic modification, it is
considered a Final SFMTA Decision. If a City Traffic Engineer disapproves or
declines a parking or traffic modification, a member of the public must request
additional review by the SFMTA of that decision which shall be conducted pursuant
to Division II, Section 203 of the Transportation Code before the decision becomes
a Final SFMTA Decision. Final SFMTA Decisions, whether made by the City Traffic
Engineer or the SFMTA Board, can be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors
pursuant to Ordinance 127-18. Decisions reviewable by the Board of Supervisors
are denoted with a pound (#). Information about the review process can be found
at: https://sfbos.org/sites/default/files/SFMTA_Action_Review_Info_Sheet.pdf.
