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: January 21, 2020

Pedestrians crossing Market Street

In this week’s Director’s Report from the SFMTA Board of Directors meeting, Jeffrey Tumlin gave updates on the following topics:

Vision Zero

  • Two fatalities since the last board meeting, both of which are also still under investigation making it too early to determine whether they are Vision Zero fatalities according to our Fatality Reporting protocol, but regardless we send our condolences to friends and families of each victim.
  • Rapid Response has been conducted for three severe injury crashes also under investigation by the San Francisco Police Department, but on 43rd and Fulton where a pedestrian was severely injured by a motorist, additional daylighting is being installed on top of the recent improvements such as larger, more visible signal heads.

Shared Scooter Permit Program Update

  • Permitted scooter companies were required to submit a plan describing their commitment to piloting adaptive scooters by Jan. 15. The pilot will continue through the course of the permit program.
  • “Adaptive Scooter” is defined as a powered shared scooter allowing access for people with various physical disabilities. The SFMTA does not require a specific vehicle type or service model. Permittees all submitted different vehicle design and service models.
  • Approximately 50 adaptive scooters will be available that include two and three-wheeled devices with the option to sit or stand.

Central Subway

  • Permanent power has now been provided to the Union Square Market Street Station in conjunction with PG&E.
  • The contractor is making substantial progress at all stations.
  • Request for Board approval will be forthcoming on key contract modifications necessary for substantial completion:
    • Automatic Train Control System
    • Closeout backlog of task order contract modifications
  • Substantial completion of the project remains for June 2020 with a revenue operations date of summer 2021.

Market Street Ribbon Cutting

  • Starting Jan. 29, Market Street will officially become car-free eastbound from 10th to Main and westbound from Steuart to Van Ness.
  • Market Street is home to half of the top 10 intersections for pedestrian and bicycle collisions.
  • Each year since 2014 the area averaged over 100 injury collisions per year - 75 percent of them involving people walking or biking.
  • Work to implement this change has already begun.

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.

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!...

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...
