Summary Report on survey of small businesses in San Francisco after a traffic calming project. The<br />
report cites other research showing a correlation between traffic calming (including<br />
pedestrian and bike improvements) and improved economic activity and increased<br />
property values. The report describes the survey results in more mixed terms with many<br />
business owners being positive about the benefits of the project for their business and<br />
added convenience for customers and employees, but less than half those owners<br />
surveyed credited the project with increased economic activity or property values. The<br />
authors cite a number of external factors as affecting the results of the project including<br />
a downturn in the national and local economic conditions, effects of 9‐11‐2001, and the<br />
limited scope of the subject project as compared to more comprehensive projects that<br />
were the subject of other cited research.<br />
