旧金山拨款50万！用于减轻交通压力！研究高速公路堵塞问题！
$500,000 Alloted for Traffic Mitigation, Study of Upper Great Highway Closure
拨款50万美元，用于减轻交通压力，研究公路堵塞的问题
Nearly $500,000 was allocated in February by San Francisco supervisors, acting as the county’s regional transportation authority, for the Great Highway Outer Sunset Traffic Management Project. The funds will be used to study safety challenges – traffic congestion, reckless driving, pedestrian safety – and to install traffic mitigation measures in response to the impacts on the Outer Sunset neighborhoods by diverting traffic from the Upper Great Highway to nearby streets.
今年2月，作为县的区域交通管理局，旧金山监督员拨出了近50万美元，用于Great Highway Outer Sunset交通管理项目。这些资金将用于研究交通拥堵、鲁莽驾驶、行人安全，并通过将交通从上高速公路分流到附近街道来实施交通缓解措施，以应对对外日落社区的影响。
The Upper Great Highway, a four-lane thoroughfare along Ocean Beach, was closed to motor vehicles in April 2020 from Lincoln Way to Sloat Boulevard to make a safe space for people to exercise and enjoy the outdoors while keeping the social distance required to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
2020年4月，沿海洋海滩的上高速公路(Upper Great Highway)禁止机动车通行，从林肯路(Lincoln Way)到斯拉特大道(Sloat Boulevard)，为人们提供了一个安全的户外运动和享受户外活动的空间，同时保持必要的社会距离，防止冠状病毒的传播。

In a press release issued by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), the project is described as a joint venture.
在旧金山市政交通局(SFMTA)发布的一份新闻稿中，该项目被描述为一个合资项目。
“The plan will be funded through allocations from SFMTA, San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) and the Recreation and Park Department,” the statement said. “Implementation will move quickly, with the changeable message signs and stop signs to be installed by mid-March, and the speed cushions and speed table construction beginning in March and continuing through April.”
声明称:“该计划将通过旧金山交通管理局、旧金山县交通局(SFCTA)和娱乐公园部门的拨款获得资金。”他说:“我们会迅速实施，在三月中旬前安装实时讯息标志和停车标志，并在三月开始建造减速带和速度表，直至四月。”
District 4 Supervisor Gordon Mar, who represents the Outer Sunset, and the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) are also on the team working on the mitigation plans.
代表外日落地区的第四区主管戈登·马(Gordon Mar)和旧金山警察局(San Francisco Police Department)也参与了缓解计划的工作。
Among the main safety measures in the plan are:
计划中主要的安全措施有:
• 24 new speed cushions;
•24个新的速度缓冲;
• a new speed table;
•一个新的速度表;
• 12 new stop signs spread along Lower Great Highway, La Playa Street, Irving Street, 48th Avenue, 47th Avenue, and 46th Avenue, and;
•12个新的停车标志沿着Lower Great Highway, La Playa Street, Irving Street, 48th Avenue, 47th Avenue, and 46th Avenue;
• Six new changeable message signs to help divert traffic away from residential streets to corridors, like Sunset Boulevard.
•6个新的可变信息标志，帮助将交通从住宅区街道分流到日落大道等走廊。
Closing the Upper Great Highway has drawn polarized opinions among Outer Sunset residents.
关闭上高速公路在外日落区居民中引起了两极分化的意见。
On a Facebook page titled “The San Francisco Sunset District,” with nearly 7,000 members, reaction to the closing of the Upper Great Highway has been mostly negative.
在一个名为“旧金山日落区”(The San Francisco Sunset District)的Facebook页面上，有近7000名成员，对关闭上高速公路的反应大多是负面的。
One reply to a Feb. 23 post on the topic said: “The Great Highway was built to be just that: a highway – for cars…. Pedestrians can still walk parallel to it…. If the City closes the Great Highway, then Sunset Boulevard and 19th Avenue will be all the more jam packed with traffic.”
2月23日一个帖子的回复说:“这条高速公路就是这样修建的:一条汽车专用公路....行人仍然可以和它平行行走....如果城市关闭了高速公路，那么日落大道和第19大道将会更加拥堵。”
Another member of the Facebook group wrote: “I’ve been living off the Lower Great Highway since 1998 and have never witnessed such a tone-deaf and simplified ‘fix’ that has caused so much unnecessary chaos.”
该Facebook群组的另一名成员写道:“从1998年起，我就一直住在下高速公路(Lower Great Highway)附近，从未目睹过这样一种简化的‘修复’，造成了如此多不必要的混乱。
On the flip side, many locals and visitors love having full use of the roadway for walking, running, biking, pushing baby strollers and rollerblading.
另一方面，许多当地人和游客喜欢充分利用这条道路来散步、跑步、骑自行车、推婴儿车和滑旱冰。
John Banzon, a resident of the Outer Sunset, recognizes the challenges and also the benefits.
约翰·班宗(John Banzon)是居住在太阳系外日落地带的居民，他认识到了修复的好处。
“Since they closed the Great Highway, more people have been speeding down this area,” Banzon said. “But I personally like that the Great Highway is closed, because I am able to run and do that sort of stuff with friends.”
Banzon说:“自从高速公路关闭后，越来越多的人在这一地区超速行驶。”“但我个人喜欢高速公路被关闭，因为我可以和朋友一起跑步。”
Another local resident, Claudia Villena, also thought the good outweighs the bad.
另一位当地居民克劳迪娅·维拉纳(Claudia Villena)也认为好事多于坏事。
“I have noticed an increased number of cars on our streets, but it feels fine, manageable, not unlike the rest of the City,” Villena said. “Before living here, I lived in different neighborhoods in SF and it feels comparable. For me, as a resident of the Outer Sunset, the main benefit has been having the open space to cycle, walk, and just be able to recreate during a very difficult time for all. It’s been a lifeline.
维莱纳说:“我注意到我们的街道上车辆越来越多，但感觉还好，在可控范围内，和城市的其他地方没有什么不同。”“住在这里之前，我住在旧金山不同的社区，感觉可以比较。对我来说，作为一个居住在外日落地区的居民，主要的好处是有了一个可以骑车、散步的开放空间，并且在所有人都很困难的时候能够进行娱乐活动。这是一条生命线。
“I support spending 500K to mitigate traffic and study the issue,” Villena continued. “We want to be science-based and data-driven. That study will give us data and scientific research to be able to make decisions.”
“我支持花费50万来缓解堵塞和研究这个问题，”Villena继续说道。“我们希望以科学为基础，以数据为驱动。这项研究将为我们提供数据和科学研究，以便我们做出决策。”
Another resident, Rosemary McQuade, has mixed views. She enjoys the Great Highway closure but also sees why it can be bothersome to herself and her neighbors.
另一位居民罗斯玛丽·麦奎德(Rosemary McQuade)对此看法不一。她很享受高速公路的关闭，但也明白为什么这会给她自己和邻居带来麻烦。
“The Great Highway is fun to have closed, but I do see why it should be open again.” McQuade said. “I don’t feel like the Great Highway should be closed to traffic all the time. Maybe close it on Sundays?”
“关闭高速公路很有趣，但我确实明白为什么它应该重新开放。”McQuade说。“我不觉得高速公路应该一直封闭交通。也许只有星期天关闭?”
According to SFMTA, nearly 4,000 people each weekday and more than 12,000 people each weekend enjoy car-free activity along the Great Highway.
根据SFMTA的说法，每个工作日有近4000人，每个周末有超过12000人在高速公路上享受无车活动。
Mar recognizes there are tradeoffs.
Mar在权衡。
“The transformation of the Great Highway has provided tremendous benefit, but safety always must come first,” Mar said. “We can’t sacrifice safety for recreation, and I believe with this plan we can have both. We can only continue to enjoy this incredible new open space if we can make it safe and address these impacts.”
“高速公路的改造带来了巨大的好处，但安全永远是第一位的，”马说。“我们不能为了娱乐而牺牲安全，我相信有了这个计划，我们可以两者兼顾。只有我们能够保证这片令人难以置信的新开放空间的安全，并解决这些影响，我们才能继续享受它。”
