June 10 Muni Service Changes Adds Service on Connector Routes By Clive Tsuma The 38R Geary Rapid will run every 6 minutes starting June 10 Starting Saturday, June 10, the SFMTA will be adding Muni service on several lines to address crowding, wait times and to support increased summer tourism. We’re also making some stop changes to serve more customers and make the service more accessible and reliable.  Increased Service  To address crowding and reduce pass-ups, we’re adding service on the 1 California between Clay and Drumm streets and California Street and Presidio Avenue – where demand is highest – on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.  We’re also going to be starting service earlier on the 1X California Express, at 7:30 a.m. instead of 8 a.m., in response to customer feedback, as well as adding stops at Cherry, Spruce and Laurel streets and Presidio Avenue.   We’re also extending the evening service to the Presidio at 30 Stockton seven days a week.

Director of Transportation Report: November 5, 2019
By

People using the crosswalk

In this week’s Director’s Report from the SFMTA Board of Directors meeting, Tom Maguire gave the following updates:

VISION ZERO

  • A pedestrian fatality occurred on Halloween in the late afternoon. A female walking near 19th/South Van Ness was struck by a driver. The San Francisco Police Department is investigating.
  • On Oct. 24, the Board of Supervisors Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee passed an emergency resolution focused on Vision Zero enforcement projects and programs. The resolution, calls for the SFMTA to expand the number of Parking Control Officers to increase enforcement for violations such as stopping in bicycle lanes and double parking, and to increase the number of intersections with red light camera enforcement.
  • With the end of daylight saving time over the weekend and days becoming darker earlier, we know that pedestrian collisions go up 20 percent and even more concerning, collisions between the hour of 6 and 7 p.m. increase by 80 percent. Starting November 3, we have included safety messages on our variable message signs reminding drivers to be extra vigilant at this time of year.

CENTRAL SUBWAY UPDATE

  • We are currently rolling out the next phase of construction mitigation for the Central Subway Project with our partners at the Office of Economic and Workforce Development. It includes grant funding, an advertising campaign and support for local businesses along the alignment.
  • We made the progress we expected over the past month, thanks to new resources from the contractor and remain on track to meet our substantial completion date of June 29, 2020.
  • We are excited to announce that work on the Chinatown Plaza has begun above the new station. This plaza was the community-preferred design and when complete, will be a valuable amenity in the neighborhood.
  • At the Union Square/Market station, crews are working on station finishes and the public art installation – an exciting development as we move closer to completion.
  • To help us stay ahead of potential issues, the team recently completed a comprehensive risk assessment with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).

SFMTA RESPONSE TO SONOMA FIRE

  • Many of the nearly 200,000 evacuees from the Kincaid Fire in the North Bay came to San Francisco seeking shelter and services and hundreds of thousands of Bay Area residents, including many of our staff, have been impacted by PG&E’s Public Safety Power Shutdown.
  • In response to the extra vehicles on San Francisco streets, the SFMTA parking control group opened extensive parking in the Grace Cathedral area for evacuees, waived parking enforcement fees and provided free Muni passes to our neighbors from the north.
  • I want to recognize the outstanding efforts out our SFMTA colleagues. Muni experienced only minimal impacts to the 81X, 82X, 83X and 88 lines, because our colleagues reported to work despite a variety of challenges.

Our Board of Directors meeting is usually held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. To watch the meeting in full, go to sfgovtv.org.

Making the JFK Drive Promenade a Space for All

Making the JFK Drive Promenade a Space for All By Eillie Anzilotti The JFK Drive Promenade is a place for all—and its new signage reflects that!   Starting January 5, 2022 you’ll find new signage all along the promenade route reminding users to be kind, share the space, move slowly, and say hello to each other.   Through over 50 outreach events held by the  Golden Gate Park Access & Safety Program  team throughout the fall and over 10,000 survey responses we received, San Franciscans have overwhelmingly said they appreciate the space for walking and rolling along JFK Drive—but also want to see more guidance on how to use the space.  In response, the SF Recreation & Park Department and SFMTA co-designed this courtesy campaign to encourage park users to put safety and kindness first when navigating the promenade.  A simple reminder to go slow and say hello can go a long way!...

New Muni Metro Station Opens in the Heart of Union Square By Mariana Maguire Central Subway special weekend service will be running just in time for the holiday lights at Union Square The new Central Subway Union Square/Market Street Station puts Muni customers in the heart of historic San Francisco, beneath Union Square Plaza at Geary and Stockton streets – open just in time to enjoy Macy’s famous holiday window displays and ice skating on the plaza.

Maiden Lane – a polite reference to the activities that once took place in the early days of the city – ...

Curb Management Strategy

चित्र
Curb Management Strategy By Tom Maguire When people talk about transportation, we usually focus on traditional traffic engineering tools like traffic signals and bike lanes that can move people through the city. However, what happens at the curb can be just as important to the safe operation of our streets and the health of small businesses in our city. San Francisco has long been at the forefront of managing our curbs, but we have traditionally focused on parking. Our residential permit parking program, established in the 1970s, was one of the country’s first, and in 2011 we implemented the ground-breaking demand-responsive meter pricing program, helping people find a space near their destination. Both of these programs have been adopted by other cities across the country to help manage demand for parking. However, vehicle parking is just one use of the curb, and it’s not always the most efficient or effective at achieving our larger goals. For decades, the SFMTA Color Curb Progr...
