DPT crews have begun striping a new bike lane on Clipper Street between Douglass Street and Portola Drive. Streetsblog tipster Nick sent us these photos of the work, which is expected to take a week to complete, according to Damon Curtis of the MTA's bike program. Nick points out that many residents on Clipper Street support the bike lane, part of a traffic calming project in the Bike Plan.

See more photos and get an update on other projects below the break.

Meantime, the MTA has given us an update on the status of the remaining projects recently given the go ahead by a San Francisco judge:

    • Otis Street between Gough Street and South Van Ness Avenue. Work to begin on 12/17 if it IS raining (estimate 1 week to complete striping work)
    • 7th Avenue between Lawton Street and Lincoln Way. Work to begin after repaving work is finished (estimate 2 weeks to complete striping work)
    • JFK Drive between Kezar and Transverse Drives in Golden Gate Park. This project is proceeding on a separate legislative track led by the Recreation and Parks Department, and is expected to be complete in Spring 2010.
