Creating Sustainable Change in Downtown San Francisco By Shayda Haghgoo Rendering of 6th Street between Market and Howard Streets When planning for new projects in Downtown San Francisco, the SFMTA must look at potential sites through multiple lenses:   How did previous planning decisions that funnel traffic through the Tenderloin to freeway onramps in SoMa influence existing street conditions?   How can we leverage quick-builds and capital streetscape projects now to make the streets safer not only today, but far into the future as well?  This dual-pronged approach allowed the SFMTA to address immediate safety issues along 6th and Taylor streets while collaborating with San Francisco Public Works to bring capital improvements to these corridors.  6th and Taylor streets...

History in Motion: New Photos from the 1960s to 1980s Now Online

Image
History in Motion: New Photos from the 1960s to 1980s Now Online By Jeremy Menzies We’ve been hard at work in the SFMTA Photo Archive and recently uploaded two large collections of photos from the early 1960s to the 1980s to our website. These photos, both color and black and white, give a glimpse into the day-to-day operations of Muni and the streets of San Francisco. Here’s a selection of shots from this brand-new batch of photos, many of which have not been seen outside the Photo Archive in years.  This shot shows a typical evening rush hour scene from the mid-1970s taken at Market and Powell Streets.  The color photos from this era are all part of a collection that was most likely used for presentations, studies and as general “stock” type photos of San Francisco, streets and Muni facilities and operations. Subjects include project documentation, copies of maps and charts, street...

Muni Metro Debuts New International Wayfinding Standards

Muni Metro Debuts New International Wayfinding Standards By Mariana Maguire New subway signage showing new directional wayfinding and accessible exists.  When the Muni Metro subway reopened on May 15, 2021, customers noticed some changes at the Castro and Church stations: new overhead wayfinding signage more clearly identifying station exits and indicating where those exits lead, and new cardinal (north, south, east, west) directions, which now indicate where trains are headed instead of the former “inbound/outbound” directions.   These stations – along with Powell Station, which will be updated soon – are part of the  Metro Enhancement Project  to improve the customer experience by providing better travel information, clearer wayfinding, cleaner stations and safety improvements. Treatments depend on the station, but enhancement eleme...

South Van Ness and Mission Intersection Closure August 4-9

Image
South Van Ness and Mission Intersection Closure August 4-9 By John Gravener With the recent completion of the new red transit lanes along Van Ness Avenue, the Van Ness Improvement Project is now focused on its upcoming  Mission Street closure as the project works to complete construction later this year.  The major intersection closure, scheduled for August 4-9, is planned to reduce the duration of the work there. By closing the full intersection for five days, the team can complete work in the intersection that would normally require two months  of work completed one segment at a time. The goal is to minimize inconvenience for the public. Map of Van Ness Avenue and Mission Street intersection with reroutes. Once the construction during the intersection closure has been completed, there will be just a few more milestones left for the Van Ness Improvement Project before construction wraps up later this year. New overhead powerlines for transit lines ...

Going Back to School with Muni

Image
Going Back to School with Muni By Shalon Rogers Schools are returning to in-person instruction in August. If you have school-aged children at home, then you likely have a back-to-school checklist that includes reliable, efficient transportation.  Many parents and guardians rely heavily on Muni to get their children to and from school which is why households will see Muni service restoration continue in August, so that  98% of San Francisco residents  will be within two to three blocks of a Muni stop by the start of the new school year.   To help take the guesswork out of what bus your child can take to school, the SFMTA has put together a list of  Muni routes that serve SFUSD schools . This resource shows the closest transit options for all San Francisco public elementary, middle and high schools.  With additional lines returning in August, in...

Rolling Out the Red on Geary

Image
Rolling Out the Red on Geary By Liz Brisson Transit lanes on Geary Boulevard east of Stanyan Street are about to receive the red carpet treatment. And with Geary Rapid Project construction nearing the finish line on time and on budget, it’s the perfect occasion for the corridor to be getting the ruby rollout. But what’s so magical about the color red? In general, painting transit lanes red has been shown to improve compliance by about 50% . Studies of three downtown San Francisco streets found that red paint led to fewer violations by private vehicles, which reduces the number of collisions and makes Muni service more reliable. And it makes sense: coloring transit lanes red makes it easier for drivers to know where they’re allowed to drive. By making transit lanes extra clear, you’re less likely to get a citation for unintentionally driving in a transit lane. Learn about when it’s okay for drivers to access a transit lane. Red transit lanes mark the final step of the trans...

Guest Blog: What's the Best Way to Restore Muni Service?

Image
Guest Blog: What's the Best Way to Restore Muni Service? By Jarrett Walker Today Moving SF welcomes guest-blogger Jarrett Walker, an international public transit planning consultant and the author of the book Human Transit and the blog humantransit.org. The SFMTA contracted with Jarrett and his firm to provide an independent perspective on how to best help Muni service recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. His team has been tasked with evaluating different approaches for each of the next phases of Muni service expansion developed by the SFMTA’s transit planning team.  Starting this summer, the SFMTA will be sharing three alternatives for how Muni service should be restored and inviting the public to provide feedback. When a transit agency comes back from the COVID-19 crisis, should it aim to put service back the way it was, or try to put back something better?  Muni started out as a service that took people downtown, and even today, most of the service is oriented that wa...

Welcoming Back the M Ocean View and 31 Balboa

Image
Welcoming Back the M Ocean View and 31 Balboa By Kate McCarthy The M Ocean View will return to rail service and resume its full pre-pandemic route in August As August 14 approaches, the target date for the next big Muni service change, the SFMTA is pleased to announce Muni’s M Ocean View will be returning to rail service and the 31 Balboa will be returning to service with a temporarily adjusted route. We thank Supervisors Melgar, Safai, Preston and Haney for their advocacy for the return of this service on behalf of their constituents. The addition of the 31 Balboa and return of the M Ocean View to rail service was made possible following improved clarity on our staffing levels this fall. We had previously forecast that due to an abnormally low level of retirements during the pandemic, we would see a spike at the start of the fiscal year (July 1) when many staff tend to announce their retirements. However, we are now confident there will be adequate staffing to deliver this addit...

Reconnecting San Francisco Across Streets and Freeways

Image
Reconnecting San Francisco Across Streets and Freeways By With limited space on San Francisco city streets, how can we ensure that current and future transportation options remain accessible and affordable to all? The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA), the SFMTA and the San Francisco Planning Department are collaborating through ConnectSF in creating a template for an equitable, sustainable and effective future. Their Streets and Freeways Strategy examines approaches that support San Francisco’s Transit-First , Vision Zero , climate action , and equity goals .  The strategy complements the Transit Investment Strategy released in April 2021. SFMTA staff provided expertise in developing the strategy and is leading the Active Transportation component, exploring ways to build a connected network of bike and pedestrian routes across the city that make biking and walking safe and enjoyable. SFMTA staff from across the agency also developed strategies to...

Good People, Tough Job

Good People, Tough Job By Pamela Johnson P arking Control Officer L arrell Dean directing traffic in 2019 You may not know always know their names or faces, but dedicated employees of the SFMTA are out on the street every day empowering our mission to keep San Francisco on the move. As part of a Good People, Tough Jobs series, we will be highlighting those key SFMTA staff who are crucial to accomplishing this goal. Today we take a look at the experiences of our parking enforcement group. It isn't easy being a parking control officer (PCO) in San Francisco. PCOs are often met with anger and antagonism while enforcing parking regulations. Yet the work of PCOs is a critical tool in keeping our city moving, as they ensure that streets and critical pathways are kept clear for transit, vehicles, pedestrians, and other modes of transportation. Unfortunately, the day-to-day work of a PCO can involve aggressive and, at times, unsafe situations. There are cases of parking officers bein...
