Woolsey-Fulton Bicycle Boulevard Project (WFBB)

This project is closely linked to the Shattuck-MLK Bus Stops (SMBB) Project, as they share the same funding source (see below) and construction schedule, and the extents of both projects are in relatively close proximity to each other.

Proposed improvements include:

• Class III bikeway (with Bicycle Boulevard pavement markings and signage) on Woolsey St. (Adeline to Wheeler), Wheeler St. (Woolsey to Prince), Prince St. (Wheeler to Fulton), and Fulton St. (Prince to Dwight).
• Intersection crossing improvements via Pedestrian Hybrid beacons (PHBs) or Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at five key intersections
• Traffic calming via and sidewalk bulbouts at the Shattuck/Russell and Shattuck/Woolsey intersections and traffic circles at the Fulton/Oregon and Wheeler/Prince intersections.
• Pedestrian and bike improvements across Martin Luther King Jr. Way (from Prince to the Ashby BART station) and Adeline St. (from Woolsey to the Ashby BART station) that include revisions to existing medians.

Project updates and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document will be posted in May 2024 after staff have reviewed all responses submitted during the public comment period and have determined next steps.
