Construction Starts on the Battery/Sansome Quick-Build By Eillie Anzilotti   Rendered image of the completed Battery/Sansome Quick Build Project The first-ever protected bike lane in the Financial District is on its way in!  This week, SFMTA crews are starting work on the Battery/Sansome Quick-Build project. Approved by the SFMTA Board of Directors in September, this project will bring a two-way protected bike lane to Battery Street. The project will also add pedestrian safety improvements on both Battery and Sansome Streets, and some loading changes on Battery.   This project is a major step forward for cycling in the city.
