Glen Park, which we have always thought was adorable and near [Update] where SFist Deborah resides, has been experiencing quite a growth spurt recently. New restaurants and businesses have been steadily opening up, renters get more for their money there, and it has its own BART Station. But getting to and from the BART Station has always been a bit of a pain.

Plans to improve traffic and make the area more transit-friendly, which were first proposed in 2003, are finally moving forward. Pedestrian amenities and new street-parking rules will be implemented, and Muni lines in the area will be beefed up, including improved access between the BART Station and the J Church line and the addition of new Muni stops and times that better coordinate with BART arrivals and departures.

A few gripes by people in the area are in regards to the addition of roundabouts and the proposed construction of 65 new housing units in place of a portion of the BART parking lot. Roundabouts might improve traffic flow, but they pose as a danger to bicyclists and pedestrians, and the existing BART parking lot is already full seven days a week.
