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

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.

Central Subway Readies Fare Gates and Ticket Vending Machines By Enrique Aguilar In October, crews began installing and testing fare gate and ticket vending machine equipment at new underground stations that hundreds of Muni customers will use to pay for Muni fares once the Central Subway opens next year. In addition to the new equipment being put into place at Chinatown/Rose Pak, Union Square/Market Street and Yerba Buena/Moscone stations, we are also continuing the train testing necessary to help us reach our goal of beginning service in 2022. From the earliest stages of planning, our infrastructure design took into account the need for revenue management equipment like gates and fare machines. Like appliance placement in a brand-new home, architects developed the layout which construction workers build-out of the station’s interior. Crews will secure equipment, connect it to power and data sources and ensure cabling is in the appropriate location based on the station’s floor pla...

Nearly 300 Muni Drivers Celebrated for Extraordinary Safety Record By Very few drivers can make the claim they have successfully navigated the congested streets of San Francisco for years on end without having any preventable safety incidents. But 299 of the SFMTA's 2,500 Muni operators can proudly say they have done so for at least 15 years, and some for decades. This month these operators get a token and patch to wear, honoring the Safe Driver record. Recognizing these employees, Director of Transportation Jeff Tumlin stated that, "Safety is SFMTA's number one priority. It is my privilege to honor this year's Safe Driver Award recipients. These professionals deliver for the people of San Francisco and lift up the entire agency.
