Doyle Drive, the over 70-year-old stretch of Route 101 that provides access to the city of San Francisco from the Golden Gate Bridge, and southern access to Marin County and other Bay Area communities, requires extensive seismic, structural and traffic safety upgrades.
Because of its importance within the Bay Area’s regional transportation system, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (the Authority) have proposed to improve the approximately one and a half mile Doyle Drive.
Permanent improvements to bring Doyle Drive up to current design and safety standards would benefit motorists using the Golden Gate Bridge, area residents, tourists and others driving to and from the Presidio, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), the Palace of Fine Arts, the Exploratorium, and other destinations.
Currently, over 120,000 vehicles use Doyle Drive every weekday. Typically, eighty percent of the vehicles traveling on Doyle Drive are coming from or going to the Golden Gate Bridge. The remaining twenty percent of the vehicles begin or end their trips in San Francisco. Doyle Drive serves as both a primary commute and recreational route with weekend traffic volumes comparable to weekday volumes.
