Project Update, November 2024:
In November 2024, San Francisco voters approved Proposition K which will permanently close the Upper Great Highway to private vehicles and establish a public open recreation space. Design work for the Great Highway Traffic Signal Upgrade project has been placed on hold and the scope of work for the project will be revised accordingly.
The Great Highway Traffic Signal Upgrade project will replace traffic signal hardware at 8 intersections along the Great Highway between Lincoln Way and Vicente Street. These signals are prone to corrosion and failure due to their proximity to the ocean and wind, water, and sun exposure. This project will replace all existing signal infrastructure including poles, signal heads, subsurface conduits, and controllers. The project will also install new accessible (audible) pedestrian-activated signals to improve safety for vision-impaired pedestrians.
The project was made possible in part by Proposition K Sales Tax dollars provided by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, General Fund Population Growth Proposition B, and other local funds.
