Committee backs sidewalk‑width adjustments around First, Mission and Fremont streets
An ordinance to modify official sidewalk widths at several block frontages in the Southeast Mission (including a new bulb‑out at First and Mission) was forwarded with a positive recommendation; staff said changes respond to a long‑pending street improvement permit and will include safety improvements.
The full story
The committee advanced an ordinance, sponsored by Supervisor Kim’s office, to modify official sidewalk widths on segments of First Street, Mission Street and Fremont Street in the Southeast Mission. Staff explained the ordinance follows Public Works Order No. 185948 and alters existing widths — for example, widening a section of Fremont from about 15 to 21 feet and narrowing a section of Mission from 15 to 10 feet where an existing condition makes that appropriate. The legislation also creates a new sidewalk bulb‑out at the east corner of First and Mission to improve pedestrian safety.
