Description
Trail impassible to pedestrians due to vehicular traffic. Police patrols, park and rec maintenance vehicles, clear channel bus shelter maintenance crews and sfmta traffic camera maintenance crews trafficking the park presidio trail have torn up the trail so much as to make it nearly impassible on foot.

The three worst section of the trail are, in order of damage: between Geary and Clement, between Lake and California, and between Cabrillo and Fulton.
While it is great that the SFPD patrols the trail, it would be great if they would consider foot, mounted, or bike patrols to lessen the negative impacts. My sense is that the trail damage discourages recreational use, which then creates a gap filled by anti-social uses, which increases the need for patrols: a non-virtuous circle.

This issue is still extant. The pathway on the east side at Anza is particularly bad right now. If motor vehicles are going to be driving on this pathway, one needs to do some bit of engineering to support that. I would suggest dumping a load of stone in problem areas and compacting.
Also, I second meroden on the issue of crosswalk and pedestrian safety measures. Ideally some signage to warn of a mid-block crossing and painting the actual crossing would be greatly appreciated.
