John Muir Parkway safety improvements
Summary
After years of residents asking, the council ordered stop signs at Tsushima/Yosemite and the Bayfront Boulevard turns — even though a formal traffic study said the intersection didn't meet state warrants. A $250,000 budget allocation will fund further calming measures; speed bumps remain under study because of noise complaints.

Impact analysis
$250,000 set aside in the new budget for traffic calming on the corridor; stop signs themselves are a modest cost.
Muir Point and Bayfront residents, cyclists, and pedestrians — including the vice mayor, who lives on the street.
Neighborhoods waiting for street paving may see those funds redirected if SB 1 money is used.

City Council — June 9, 2026
Faded markings, a chipped-away bike lane and perceived speeding on John Muir Parkway prompted a push for roughly $250,000 in striping and traffic calming, possibly funded from SB 1 road money. Staff will report back on cost and funding.
