Census data, technical analysis and our observations highlight the different modes that people use and the conditions they face. • Polk Street is the designated street for Muni bus line #19 which connects to BART as well as many other Muni lines. • Polk Street is flatter and has less traffic than nearby parallel streets, making it the only north-south bicycle route in this area of the City. • The number of people walking along Polk Street is comparable to Valencia Street in the Mission and Irving Street in the Inner Sunset. • Polk Street between Sacramento Street and Market Street is a high pedestrian injury corridor. These corridors account for 6% of City streets and 60% of severe and fatal injuries. • Polk Street south of California Street has three times the number of pedestrian and bicycle injury collisions than Polk Street north of California. • Polk is a thriving neighborhood commercial district. • Commercial deliveries and double parking sometimes block traffic, busses and people on bicycles.

POLK STREET TODAY
Polk Street serves an important transportation function for the City. Census data, technical analysis and our observations highlight the different modes that people use and the conditions they face.
• Polk Street is the designated street for Muni bus line #19 which connects to BART as well as many other Muni lines.
• Polk Street is flatter and has less traffic than nearby parallel streets, making it the only north-south bicycle route in this area of the City.
• The number of people walking along Polk Street is comparable to Valencia Street in the Mission and Irving Street in the Inner Sunset.
• Polk Street between Sacramento Street and Market Street is a high pedestrian injury corridor. These corridors account for 6% of City streets and 60% of severe and fatal injuries.
• Polk Street south of California Street has three times the number of pedestrian and bicycle injury collisions than Polk Street north of California.
• Polk is a thriving neighborhood commercial district.
• Commercial deliveries and double parking sometimes block traffic, busses and people on bicycles.
