Project Overview

The City of Daly City is studying a potential road diet on Lake Merced Boulevard, which would reduce the road from four lanes to two and allocate space for installing protected bike lanes. This quick-build pilot project would allow the City to test safety and traffic operations in real-world conditions before making permanent changes. The study corridor connects directly to another quick-build project completed by the City of San Francisco on Lake Merced Boulevard as shown in the map.

Bicycle Lane Separation Alternatives


Alternative A: Bollards

  • Placed at regular intervals between the bike lane and vehicle lane
  • High visual contrast alerts drivers to the presence of the bike lane
  • Relatively easy to replace if damaged

Alternative B: Traffic Exclusion Domes

  • Low-profile, durable rounded markers that discourage drivers from entering the bike lane while minimizing visual clutter
  • Traversable by large emergency vehicles for easier access without damaging the structure

Bus Stop Improvements


Option 1: Conflict Zone Markings
