Rescue Muni

Today’s Examiner reports that Muni officials may recommend reversing or modifying some recent service changes following the difficulties with the launch of the T-Third line. In particular, the cancellation of the 15 line from North Beach to downtown and the replacement of the N line to Caltrain with the J line may be on the table.

Update: Channel 7 (KGO-TV) has a story as well.

The Plans and Programs Committee of the SFCTA voted yesterday to send the Geary BRT project to environmental review. Thanks to all who spoke in favor! SPUR also has an update (top right corner).

Some recent news we’ve been saving for your Sunday Monday update:

If you’re available Tuesday morning, please attend the Transportation Authority Plans and Programs Committee and speak in favor of Geary Bus Rapid Transit. The meeting is on Tuesday May 8, 10:30 a.m., in City Hall Room 263.

This is the most important meeting of the year for Geary BRT. The six Transportation Authority Commissioners on the Plans and Programs Committee make up a majority of the full Board, so their vote is critical. Come speak in favor of faster and more reliable service on this vital transit corridor!

This week, the MTA Citizens Advisory Council will hold a hearing on the service problems resulting from the startup of the T-Third and Muni’s plan to fix them. Senior Muni managers are slated to attend.

The hearing will be Thursday, May 3rd, at 5:30 p.m. at One South Van Ness, Room 3074. The public is welcome to attend and, as with all public meetings, there will be an opportunity for public comment. The agenda for the meeting is here.
