Greenwich Gate
Proposed Improvement
Much of the 2.1-mile Presidio Promenade multi-use trail connecting the Golden Gate Bridge to the
Greenwich gate has been completed, the 535 feet east of the Letterman/Lombard intersection is one of
the few remaining segments. 1
As shown in the attached drawings, the proposed project would create a new gate for pedestrians and
bicyclists at Greenwich Street and build the easternmost 535 feet of the Presidio Promenade multi-use
trail. The project would include crosswalks and other crossing improvements at Greenwich Street, Ruger
Street and Letterman Drive.
Pedestrians entering or leaving the Presidio through the Greenwich Street gate would experience fewer
conflicts with vehicles compared to the Lombard gate. A new gate at Greenwich Street would also be
more direct for Presidio residents, visitors and employees walking to/from the MUNI 41 and 45 routes,
which terminate on Lyon Street immediately south of Greenwich Street. Cyclists could enter the Presidio
directly from San Francisco Bike Route 6 on Greenwich Street. Many pedestrians and bicyclists could
avoid the busy Lombard/Lyon intersection at the Lombard gate, improving safety for pedestrians and
bicyclists and improving the operation of the all-way stop intersection for both vehicular traffic and
transit (PresidiGo and MUNI 43).
1 Another current gap in the trail, near the National Cemetery, is associated with Presidio Parkway reconstruction. Presidio Parkway construction activities are expected to be completed over the next year, allowing for closure of this trail gap. There is also a short segment through the Main Post district where users are redirected to sidewalks and Class II bike lanes.

The planned gate would reestablish an opening in the wall at Greenwich Street, but at approximately
half the width of the 26’ historic opening. The gate opening would be just wide enough to
accommodate an 8’ wide path with 2’ wide shoulders. See photo and illustration below.

Current Traffic Conditions
The Presidio is bounded by an historic wall with a limited number of gates. The Lombard gate is one of
the busiest gates, typically carrying 15 to 20 percent of the daily vehicle traffic into and out of the park
each day. The Presidio Trust operates a vehicle/bicycle counter just inside the gate at the intersection of
Lombard and Ruger Street. According to one year of data, the Lombard Gate accommodated
approximately 8,800-10,700 vehicles per day including PresidiGo buses and MUNI buses (43-Masonic
route), as well an average of 300-370 bicyclists per day. Many pedestrians pass through the Lombard
gate as well, and must negotiate the congested Lombard/Lyon intersection.
The Lyon/Greenwich intersection carries less than one-third the volume of vehicles during both
weekday peak hours and the weekend peak hour.

Lombard Street from Van Ness to Broderick is a part of the Vision Zero High Injury Network. According
to data collected by Vision Zero, there are 27 pedestrian collision injuries per mile compared the
citywide pedestrian collision rate of 4 injuries per mile. The Lombard Street Safety Project is a Vision
Zero Priority Project and is scheduled to begin construction in spring of 2017. Safety improvements
include signal timing adjustments, intersection daylighting, enhanced crosswalk/intersection striping
and sidewalk bulbs.
According to current plans, the Lombard Street Safety Project will not include the two intersection
closest to the Presidio: Baker Street and Lyon Street. According to the Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records System (SWITRS), there were two collisions at the intersection of Lombard and Lyon involving a
pedestrian or cyclist between 2009 and 2015. Presidio Trust’s collision records include a collision
involving a cyclist in the Presidio at the nearby intersection of Lombard and Ruger Street. Building the
remaining portion of Presidio Promenade and the Greenwich Gate would allow cyclists and pedestrians
to avoid these busy intersections on Lombard Street. Combined with the Vision Zero project along
Lombard Street, the Greenwich Gate project would help improve pedestrian conditions in this corridor.

Prior Community Engagement/Support
The Greenwich Gate and Presidio Promenade multi-use trail are part of the Presidio Trails and Bikeways
Master Plan (July 2003), and associated Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact
(http://www.presidio.gov/presidio-trust/planning/Shared%20Documents/Planning%20Documents/PLN-
344-PresidioTrailsEa_200307.pdf). Because the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Presidio
Trails and Bikeways Master Plan addressed this project, environmental compliance is complete.
Some individuals expressed support for the Greenwich Gate project during the public participation
phase of the Presidio Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, but members of the Cow Hollow neighborhood
expressed concern about the gate design being wide enough to accommodate transit with minimal
modification.2 The Presidio Trust has no interest in accommodating any sort of vehicular traffic through
this gate, and has subsequently altered the design to narrow the proposed opening in response to
neighborhood feedback. The Presidio has several other pedestrian gates, and has no intention of
opening any of them for vehicular traffic. If funding is approved for the project, the Trust will reengage
the community for feedback on the revised design.
2 The previous design restored the opening to the historic width of 26 feet with a landscaped median island at the opening.

Design Contingency 10%
Construction Contingency 5%
This cost estimate is based on standard industry practice, professional experience and knowledge of the local construction
market costs. TBD Consultants have no control over the material and labor costs, contractors methods of establishing prices
or the market and bidding conditions at the time of bid. Therefore TBD Consultants do not guarantee that the bids received
will not vary from this cost estimate.
The Design Contingency is carried to cover scope that lacks definition and scope that is anticipated to be added to the
Design. As the Design becomes more complete the Design Contingency will reduce.
The Construction Contingency is carried to cover the unforeseen during construction execution and Risks that do not
currently have mitigation plans. As Risks are mitigated, the Construction Contingency can be reduced, but should not be
eliminated.
An owners contingency has not been included in this construction cost estimate, The owners contingency is recommended
to cover scope change, bidding conditions, claims and delays.
This Construction Cost Estimate was produced from the following documentation. Design and engineering changes
occurring subsequent to the issue of these documents have not been incorporated in this estimate.
Unless identified otherwise, the cost of such items as overtime, shift premiums and construction phasing are not included in
the line item unit price.
This estimate reflects the fair construction value for this project and should not be construed as a prediction of low bid.
Prices are based on local prevailing wage construction costs at the time the estimate was prepared. Pricing assumes a
procurement process with competitive bidding for all sub-trades of the construction work, which is to mean a minimum of 3
bids for all subcontractors and materials/equipment suppliers. If fewer bids are solicited or received, prices can be expected
to be higher.
Subcontractor's markups have been included in each line item unit price. Markups cover the cost of field overhead, home
office overhead and subcontractor’s profit. Subcontractor's markups typically range from 15% to 25% of the unit price
depending on market conditions.
General Contractor’s/Construction Manager's Site Requirement costs are calculated on a percentage basis. General
Contractor’s/Construction Manager's Jobsite Management costs are also calculated on a percentage basis.
General Contractor’s overhead and fees are based on a percentage of the total direct costs and include general conditions,
contractor’s bond, insurance, site office overheads and profit.
Insurance and bond is broken down as follows:-
General Liability Insurance - 1.5%
Performance Bond - 1%

January 6, 2016 Amy Marshall Transportation Manager Presidio Trust 103 Montgomery Street San Francisco, CA 9412 Re: Greenwich Gate B ike Path Proposition AA Funding Application To Amy Marshall: On behalf of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and our 10,000-plus members, I am writing to convey our strong support for your application for funding through the Proposition AA Program for the Greenwich Gate Bike Path Project. With miles of beautiful trails, 433 historic buildings and gorgeous views throughout a total of 1,491 acres of national park land, the Presidio is a true San Francisco treasure. For people who love to explore by bike, the Presidio has premier routes for all types of riders making accessibility by bicycle from the surrounding neighborhoods essential. The Presidio Trails and Bikeways Master Plan and Environmental Assessment, created with input from the SF Bicycle Coalition outlines the planned bike network for the Presidio, which emphasizes accessibility and connectivity within the Presidio for people on bikes. Connections into the Presidio going westbound are few, the main one being Lombard Street, which intersects Lyon Street before entering the Presidio. This intersection is congested for all modes and dangerous for people on bikes, offering only Class II facilities. Biking in San Francisco has grown 184% over the past decade and is the fastest growing mode of transportation in San Francisco. With more and more people entering the Presidio by bike, it is essential that they have a safe point of access. The Greenwich Gate Project would give people biking to the Presidio exactly that. With separated, protected bike infrastructure and a direct connection to the existing bike route on Greenwich, this new gate would make accessing the Presidio safe and convenient for all people biking and walking. We strongly support the Presidio Trust’s proposal for the Greenwich Gate Project and encourage the SFCTA to award funds for this important project.
Sincerely,
Charles Deffarges Community Organizer San Francisco Bicycle Coalition
