Greg of N-Judah Chronicles said it perfectly. We support KEEPING and EXPANDING the transit lanes on Mission. Don’t listen to the naysayers – 65,000 transit riders per day depend on this project!
There’s been surprisingly little communication to the public about the night shutdown of Muni Metro that begins 10 days from now. This is for essential maintenance and upgrades but will be very disruptive to riders. Please make sure to look at the detailed description of night service (click “Details”) and be prepared!
In addition to the proposed extension of the Central Subway to the Wharf, SFMTA is looking at a possible subway through Stonestown, SF State and Parkmerced, replacing the current section along 19th Avenue. Done right this could speed up service and make it much easier for Parkmerced residents and SF State students to get to mass transit.
In a long-overdue step, SFMTA is now painting bus and streetcar lanes red to make it obvious that they are transit only. Last year’s project to paint the lanes on Church Street was a big success, so SFMTA is now extending the red lanes citywide.
SFCTA staff are recommending a $150K preliminary study of the proposed Fisherman’s Wharf extension of the Central Subway, advocated by Rescue Muni and many other community leaders in the SF NEXTSTOP coalition. This is a great first step towards realizing the vision of a Central Subway that serves North Beach and the Wharf; it will give the public a much clearer idea of the cost and time required to build it.
