Existing Bicycle Network & Currently Proposed Changes to Mission Bay Plan

Traffic Analysis of Proposed Change

• The closure of Fourth Street to vehicular through traffic was analyzed as a project alternative in UCSF’s 2008 Medical Center at Mission Bay EIR

• Traffic improvement measures have been identified to address effects if Fourth Street were closed to vehicular through traffic

• Implementation of these measures would allow intersections to operate at acceptable levels of service

• UCSF would fund the implementation of these measures
