Part One of a Four-Part Series: Performance Goals
By Ed Reiskin
This summer, many Muni riders noticed a decline in service as we experienced a temporary shortage of bus operators. In August, Mayor London Breed called on the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to step up its efforts to provide the reliable and safe system that San Franciscans deserve. This blog is part one of a four-part series on our plan to set Muni on a sustainable path to providing excellent service and meet key performance targets within 90 days.
In many cities across the nation, transit ridership is dropping, but San Francisco stands apart with Muni ridership holding steady, and even increasing, on many lines. There is much more work to be done, but it’s worth noting the progress we have made.
Once the country’s oldest fleet, San Francisco’s is now the newest and greenest transit fleet of any major North American city. In addition to dramatic infrastructure upgrades and Muni Forward projects that reduce delays on Muni, over the last several years, we have increased service by more than ten percent, with more buses and trains on the street than ever. Last year, for the second year in a row, Muni achieved the highest customer service ratings since we started tracking this metric in 2001.
Despite these significant advances, there’s no question that Muni must be more dependable. We clearly have work ahead of us to provide the outstanding customer experience that the residents of San Francisco demand.
Proposition E, which in 1999 brought together the Department of Parking and Traffic and Muni to form the SFMTA, mandates that Muni deliver 98.5 percent of scheduled service and maintain an 85 percent on-time record. The San Francisco Controller’s Office maintains a “performance scorecard” for all city agencies. The scorecard tracks Muni performance against these two voter-mandated targets as well as several other metrics, including bunching and gaps between vehicles and Muni collisions.
Over the past two months, the SFMTA has taken a series of actions to address riders’ concerns and move closer to meeting or exceeding these targets as part of our SFMTA Plan to Improve Muni. In my response to the Mayor and to our SFMTA Board of Directors, I committed the agency to making the following improvements:
- Increase service delivery to 96% to reduce gaps in service across the Muni system
- Reduce gaps on Rapid bus lines (5R, 9R, 14R 29R and 38R) by 5 percent and on Muni Metro rail by 3 percent to enhance service reliability
- Improve on-time performance on bus routes with a frequency of 15 minutes or less (e.g. most Connector, Local, Express and Owl bus routes) by 5 percent
- Continue to prioritize safety as our top priority by further reducing preventable collisions system-wide by 5 percent
The plan aligns with actions developed as part of the agency’s Strategic Plan and includes a menu of near-term actions to be implemented by the end of November, as well as longer-term actions to keep Muni on a sustainable path to becoming a great transportation choice for San Franciscans. Over the course of this blog series, I will provide an update on our progress with each metric, focusing on these four near-term targets.

SFMTA To Provide Garage Ambassadors
By Pamela Johnson
Walking to your vehicle in an empty parking garage can be an uneasy experience, especially in the evening or late at night.
With the goal of enhancing security in city-owned parking garages and ensuring that our patrons feel safe, the SFMTA’s Parking & Curb Management team is launching a new “ambassador service” for patrons in all 19 city-owned garages.
Garage patrons may request an ambassador, to accompany them to their vehicle as long as it is parked in the garage. If the ambassador sees anything suspicious, he or she will notify onsite security and/or call the police.
“It’s a buddy system of sorts," said SFMTA Director of Parking & Curb Management, Ted Graff. “While crime in city garages is uncommon, we hope the ambassador service will make garage patrons feel safer and less vulnerable.”
The ambassadors, who wear parking uniforms are visible in the parking garage. Upon returning the garage for their vehicle, a patron who wishes to utilize this service can locate the ambassador in or near the garage office and inform them they would like to be accompanied to their car. Alternately, patrons can call the parking facility prior to their arrival to make their request.
About the Vehicle Ambassador Service
- The vehicle ambassador service will begin October 29, 2018.
- The SFMTA encourages patrons to use the ambassador service, which is free to all patrons of city-owned garages.
- Ambassador service is available during regular hours of the garage operation.
- Click here for a complete list of garages and its hours of operation.
Please note the following:
- The garage does provide regular security patrols within the property.
- The garage is not responsible for lost, damaged or stolen items within the property premises.
- Please help prevent crime by securing and keeping all items from view.
For more information, please ask a Garage Ambassador.

Halloween Weekend: Treasure Island Halloween and a Fiesta in Bernal Heights
By Schad Dalton
Events: Halloween weekend is upon us and there will be several fun, spooky events around the city from which to choose. Head down the Stern Grove as it is transformed into Scaregrove this Friday or check out the festivities in the Castro during its Glow in the Streets Halloween block party on Saturday. Throughout the weekend Treasure Island will host its own Halloween-themed TreasureFest full of fun, food and frights. On the less scary side of things, this year's Hussain Day Procession will take place in the Civic Center this Saturday and the Fiesta on the Hill in Bernal Heights will kick off this Sunday. Read more about our featured events below.

TreasureFest Halloween
Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Treasure Island
Treasure Island will host its monthly TreasureFest with a Halloween-themed twist this weekend. Along with the more standard fare of food, drinks, live music and numerous local vendors, this month's event will be giving away free mini-pumpkins to the first 1,000 visitors each day, a costume contest on both days for adults, children and pets and trick-or-treating at all vendor booths (vendors will have candy and other treats to give away!).
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the 25 Treasure Island Route to and from the event.
Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for this event, though the 25 may see an increase in ridership or minor delays.
Fiesta on the Hill
Sunday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Bernal Heights
The annual Fiesta on the Hill celebrates the diversity that comprises Bernal Heights and its surrounding neighborhoods. Spanning over seven blocks with arts, crafts, local goods/services and food vendors, this event is a family-friendly, alcohol-free festival featuring activities and entertainment for all ages. Additional highlights include live music, dancing, a children’s area with rides, games and more.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the 24 Divisadero and 67 Bernal Heights routes to near the event.
Muni Service Notes: The 24 will have a reroute around the area of the event.
Remember that you can Muni the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.
“On Tap” gives you a heads up about the big events in town and what Muni routes and lines will get you to the party. Look for this feature to be posted usually on Thursdays for a look ahead to the weekend. Check out our Weekend Traffic & Transit Advisory for more details.

Valencia Bikeway Improvements Coming Soon
By Victoria Chong
Valencia Street is one of San Francisco's highest utilized bike routes with 2100 cyclists riding along it on an average weekday. With parts of Valencia on the city’s High-Injury Network, we had a series of workshops in July to address safety and improve infrastructure along this corridor.
Since the workshops, the project team received a lot of insightful feedback regarding the bikeway design alternatives and the near-term curb management (i.e., parking and loading) improvements from the community. This blog post provides a glimpse of what’s to come for the project over the next few months.
Bikeway Update: Market to 15th streets
Per the directives and partnership of Mayor London Breed, parking-protected bike lanes will be piloted on Valencia from Market to 15th streets in early 2019. In tandem with the bikeway upgrade, curb management changes will also be implemented on this stretch of the corridor. The project team will be conducting door-to-door outreach with merchants and following-up with stakeholders in the upcoming weeks. At this time, the parking-protected bikeway pilot is anticipated to be heard at the SFMTA Board of Directors meeting on December 4, 2018. Following that, city crews would begin constructing the parking-protected bike lanes, using temporary, low-cost materials as much as possible. Following the implementation, the project team will evaluate the design to help inform the longer-term, corridor-wide project. Additional outreach and community conversations will be held in spring and summer 2019 to determine a preferred bikeway design alternative(s) for the entire corridor.
Curb Management Update: 15th to 24th streets
In the upcoming weeks, the project team will also be conducting another round of merchant door-to-door outreach to get feedback on impacts of potential color curb changes on Valencia Street from 15th to 24th streets. Most curb management improvements in this portion of Valencia include consolidating loading (passenger and commercial) zones and implementing more passenger loading zones that will be in effect past 6 p.m. The project team plans to share these proposals with the community later this fall. Please be on the lookout for another update in a few weeks detailing the next community event.
Thanks for your interest and involvement in the Valencia Bikeway Improvements project. To stay in the loop about the project and upcoming events, please sign up for project updates.

Vision Zero SF Safe Speeds Campaign
By Benjamin Barnett
Speeding Kills. Just five miles over the limit is twice as likely to kill. Stick to the speed limit.
Speeding is a top cause of crashes both here in San Francisco and throughout California. Vision Zero SF recently re-launched its Safe Speeds campaign to raise awareness around this deadly issue. Speeding Kills bus shelter ads have been installed throughout the city in addition to a radio piece running during traffic segments on various stations.
Be on the lookout for a Vision Zero Stick to the Limit video playing at all California DMV field offices.
Vision Zero SF is the city’s road safety policy that will build safety and livability into our streets, protecting the one million people who move about the city every day. San Francisco is committed to achieving our Vision Zero goal of zero traffic deaths.

Polk Streetscape Project Near Completion
By Victoria Chong
The Polk Streetscape Project is near completion! As we work with San Francisco Public Works to finalize everything, here’s what you need to know about the new bike lanes, streetscape amenities, parking and loading as crews put the finishing touches on this two-year construction project.
What’s Next?
Polk Street, north of Jackson Street has been paved and striped. Over the next month, crews will be paving Polk Street from Bush to McAllister streets, with final roadway striping happening in November and December. Parking and loading changes will occur with the new striping, including the removal of all parking on the east side of Polk Street between Pine and McAllister streets and some removal of general metered parking on the west side of Polk Street with improved commercial and passenger loading spaces to better accommodate the area’s demand.
Since August 2012, the SFMTA worked with the community on a two-year comprehensive outreach process to better understand needs and concerns from residents, merchants and community groups. This outreach included:
- More than 50 focused meetings with community groups and stakeholders
- Five widely-advertised and well-attended public meetings
- Six walking tours with SFMTA staff
The final project combines the ideas from the community with a clear understanding of where and why collisions are happening on Polk and the improvements needed to prevent them. This project was approved by the SFMTA Board of Directors in March 2015 and project construction began in fall 2016.
This project will also unveil a new bikeway design for the corridor. At the intersections of Geary, Ellis, Eddy and Turk, in the southbound direction, the bike lane will be signal separated from southbound vehicles right turns to improve safety for users. On the west side, parking and loading changes are being implemented to meet the specific needs of the neighboring businesses as determined in the SFMTA’s extensive outreach process. Parking on the east side will be removed between McAllister and Pine streets to accommodate a new bike lane adjacent to the curb and separated from traffic.
The project also includes a suite of pedestrian and transit improvements including bulb-outs and pedestrian lighting as well as new sidewalk trees. With the project, Fern and Austin alleys will also be receiving upgrades, with pedestrian enhancements including raised crosswalks, improved lighting and trees, and space for residents, shoppers and people passing by to enjoy.
The final illustrative plan for Polk Street is available here. The project is anticipated to be completed in December 2018. For updates, visit the San Francisco Public Works webpage.

Best Bike Cities In The US
By Benjamin Barnett
What makes for a great bike city in America? Is it the miles of protected bike lanes? The number of bike shops? An abundance of stunning landmarks to ride by?
Yes to all of that, but as Bicycling.com sifted through thousands of data points and chatted with bike advocates and transportation officials around the country, they determined that the best cities are the ones that don’t cater to one specific type of rider—be it the daily commuter or competitive roadie. The ones that top the list have built systems and a riding culture that benefits everyone—from the kid who rides to school to the retiree who takes a weekend trip to the grocery store.
For the second year in a row, San Francisco was number two for best bike cities in America. People from all walks of life are starting to see their bicycle as a more convenient way to get around. Since 2006, bicycling has grown by 184 percent and San Francisco adds more than four new bike commuters on an average day.
Our ever-growing bike network is also a large part of this recognition. Everyone should feel safe riding a bike, whether they are 8 or 80 years old. Our vision for a sustainable transportation system includes a safe, inviting network of bicycle-friendly streets that is easy to use for people of a wide range of ages and abilities. No matter how you travel, enabling people to get around by bike plays an important role in getting you where you’re going. Protected bike lanes and calmer streets can provide benefits for everyone.
Some of the bike projects currently in the works:
Over the years, we have made a lot of progress in building out our bike network, which has grown to encompass 448 miles of bikeways, including:
- 19 miles of protected bikeways
- 140 miles of bike lanes
- 77 miles of bike paths
- 212 miles of bike routes
Every trip made on a bike instead of a car means less traffic congestion on our streets, less time spent searching for parking, less air pollution and more opportunities to chat with your neighbors. That makes San Francisco more livable for everyone. For more information on what we are doing to make biking safer, visit our webpage.

Powered Scooters are Here!
By
Today powered scooter companies, Scoot and Skip, will roll out their scooters as part of our one-year pilot program. Scoot and Skip were chosen out of 12 applications because they prioritized the city’s concerns around safety, disabled access, equity and accountability.
So, we are hopeful powered scooters will be a great way to get around San Francisco. The tips below are meant to help you ensure a safe and convenient ride as we determine if this mobility options is right for our city.
Do’s:
* Check brakes and wheels before riding. Report damaged scooters to the appropriate company.
* Wear a helmet and follow traffic rules. Only ride in the bike or travel lane. Obey traffic signs and signals.
* Park with care on the sidewalk. Park near bike racks or by the curbside.
Don’ts:
* Do not ride on sidewalks. Scooters are also not allowed on the Embarcadero Promenade.
* Do not park in ramps or at blue, yellow or white curbs. Blocked paths can be dangerous for people with disabilities.
* Do not block sidewalks or building entrances. Leave the scooter upright and keep the sidewalk clear.
For more information, visit www.sfmta.com/escooter. Please report improperly parked scooters to the scooter company or 311.

Upcoming Safety Projects
By Tom Maguire
On Tuesday, the SFMTA Board of Directors will consider three transformative projects: the 6th Street Pedestrian Safety Project, Safer Taylor and the Howard Street Near-Term Improvements. Individually and collectively, these projects will enhance safety for everyone who lives on or travels through these important corridors.
The Tenderloin and SoMa are both what are referred to as “communities of concern”, areas with a high concentration of minority and low-income households. These neighborhoods suffer a disproportionate share of the city’s traffic injuries and fatalities and have among the highest percentages of their streets on the High Injury Network — the 13 percent of city streets where 75 percent of severe and fatal collisions occur.
No matter where you live, what your income is, or how old you are, you should be able to move about San Francisco’s streets safely. While only 33 percent of San Francisco’s streets are in low-income neighborhoods or communities of concern, the 47 percent of streets with the most severe injuries and fatalities and nearly 40 percent of the city’s fatal collisions, are located in communities of concern.
The 6th Street Pedestrian Safety Project and the Howard Street Near-Term Improvements run through the SOMA Pilipinas Filipino Cultural Heritage District and the Safer Taylor Street improvements are located in the neighborhood with the most affordable housing units in San Francisco.
These projects will bring to SoMa and the Tenderloin important safety improvements that many other neighborhoods enjoy, such as new signalized intersections, parking-protected bike lanes, wider and more comfortable sidewalks, pedestrian daylighting to increase visibility at intersections and high visibility crosswalks while still emphasizing the unique character of both of these neighborhoods.
6th Street Pedestrian Safety Project
A person is hit by a vehicle every 16 days on 6th Street. Data analysis, comparing hospital and police records, suggests that a quarter of collisions on 6th Street go unreported. San Francisco cannot achieve its Vision Zero goals without making 6th Street safer. The 6th Street Pedestrian Safety Project will redesign the street from the ground up, creating a safe and inviting space for all who use it by:
- Making it easier for pedestrians to cross the road by widening the narrow sidewalks on 6th Street and adding corner bulb-outs to allow for shorter crossing distances
- Installing two new traffic signals at alleys between Market and Howard to help protect people crossing the street, while ensuring the smooth flow of traffic into the Tenderloin
- Installing new street and sidewalk lighting to improve the experience for people walking on 6th
- Adding new elements, such as decorative crosswalks, paving elements and palm trees, in collaboration with community groups, to make 6th Street an expression of the community’s unique character
Safer Taylor Street
On Taylor Street, more than 50 percent of injury collisions along the corridor involve pedestrians, with most resulting from a driver failing to yield while turning. Additionally, more than half of auto collisions are caused by risky driving behaviors, such as running red lights and traveling at unsafe speeds. To enhance pedestrian safety in the Tenderloin, the Safer Taylor Street Project will:
- Widen the sidewalk and shorten crosswalks to allow pedestrians more time to cross, while drivers will have dedicated turn signals, separate from pedestrian crossings
- Reorganize travel lanes to reduce risky driving behaviors
- Improve passenger and commercial loading to support residents and businesses on Taylor Street
The loading zones will help support single-room occupancy hotels, social service organizations, hotels and event venues by adding new and improved loading zones with up to five-foot buffers to separate those loading from traffic.
These proposals were developed with the help of input from more than 1,500 Tenderloin residents, workers and community leaders at over 40 community events. The SFMTA has prioritized events that give the most vulnerable a voice in shaping neighborhood street safety improvements.
Howard Street Near-Term Improvements
This year, two people have already been killed in traffic collisions on Howard Street. The Folsom-Howard Streetscape Project proposes long-term changes to improve safety on Folsom and Howard streets. The process of designing and installing those changes will take years, meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people will continue to use Howard Street. The SFMTA’s goal is to improve street safety as quickly as possible.
The Folsom-Howard Streetscape project team has worked with the diverse community along Howard St. to propose steps we can take before the longer-term improvements are implemented. The team has met with community groups, such as the South of Market Community Action Network, United Playaz, the Westbay Filipino Multiservice Center, the San Francisco Bike Coalition and Walk SF and over 30 local businesses along Howard Street. The project proposes quick and effective near-term safety measures, including:
- A parking-protected bikeway to separate vehicles and bicyclists and create a more predictable street for all who use it
- Adding more time for pedestrians to cross intersections, daylighting, advanced limit lines, and high visibility crosswalks to intersections to enhance pedestrian safety
- Increasing the number of loading zones by 78 percent on Howard to allow businesses to safely load without double parking
We believe that these changes will make it safer and more pleasant to bike, walk, or load and unload on Howard.
How to Make Your Voice Heard
On Tuesday, October 16, the SFMTA Board of Directors will hear public comment and vote on whether to approve these projects the meeting will be held at 1:00 pm, in Room 400 of City Hall.
If you are unable to make the meeting and would like to let the board know whether or not you support the project, please email the Board of Directors at MTAboard@SFMTA.com.

JUMP To The Next Level
By Benjamin Barnett
This week we reached the midpoint or our electric, stationless bikeshare pilot and we'd like to share our findings.
JUMP Bikes is the only permittee in the pilot, which began in January. They were also the only applicant that completed an application and met the requirements for a stationless bike share permit from the SFMTA.
When JUMP was first offered its permit in January 2018, the SFMTA created a pilot program that allowed for an initial rollout of 250 bikes, with the potential to add an additional 250 after the first nine months, pending agency review.
The evaluation shows that the JUMP bikeshare system is performing well and complies with the terms and conditions set forth by the SFMTA. The evaluation also identifies several potential improvements. Based on this evaluation, the SFMTA is in the process of granting the modified permit, which allows JUMP to operate up to 500 bikes for the duration of the 18-month pilot period. The SFMTA will complete its full evaluation of the pilot program in Spring 2019, including recommendations for if and how to permanently permit the operation of stationless bikeshare in San Francisco.
This evaluation covers four primary topic areas, based on the stationless bikeshare permit terms and conditions as well as San Francisco’s Guiding Principles for Emerging Mobility:
- Compliance with permit terms and conditions.
- System usage, trip details, ridership, and service provision.
- Public feedback and public engagement.
- Equity.
Key Findings
- Demand for stationless, shared e-bikes is high.
- Stationless bikeshare complements the City’s station-based bikeshare system, with different trip lengths, origins, and destinations.
- The lock-to design addresses major issues with sidewalk clearance.
- Stationless bikeshare leads to an increased demand for bike parking.
- Rebalancing guidelines for general redistribution and geographic equity should be improved.
- More robust equity engagement is needed to ensure stationless bikeshare effectively serves historically disadvantaged communities.
- Stationless bikeshare systems can serve the public interest when properly regulated.
Recommendations and Next Steps
- Continue the Pilot Program for further evaluation and expand the number of permitted stationless bikes to 500, contingent upon full compliance with all permit terms and conditions.
- Implementing the Emerging Mobility Data Specification and Application Programming Interface.
- Defining bike availability metrics for individual Communities of Concerns.
- Complete the final pilot evaluation by March 31, 2019, including recommendations for if and how to permanently permit stationless bikeshare in San Francisco.
Data Sharing
We have reached an agreement with JUMP with respect to data sharing and privacy overlays. JUMP will work closely with the SFMTA to establish a secure, real-time API, Application Programming Interface, which allows for active management and oversight of the Pilot. SFMTA staff will be able to query both real-time and historical data to guide planning, policy, and enforcement.

Finally Here - Transit and Safety Improvements on Geary Now Underway
By Rick Banchero
Starting earlier this week transit and safety improvement work began on the Geary Rapid Project. The Geary corridor is one of the busiest bus corridors in the country. Every day around 54,000 customers rely on the 38 Geary and 38R Geary Rapid routes to get them to where they need to be.
The first round of transit and pedestrian safety improvements includes nearly two miles of transit-only lanes in both directions of Geary Boulevard between Stanyan and Gough streets. In addition, there will be a number of stop changes on the 38 and 38R designed to improve service reliability and efficiency. These changes will take effect tomorrow.
Stop Eliminations:
- Inbound and outbound stops at Hyde
- Inbound and outbound 38R stops at Spruce
- 38 and 38BX stop will remain
Stop Relocations:
- Inbound stops at Masonic and at Presidio will be consolidated into one stop which will be located between Masonic and Presidio.
- Inbound stops at Fillmore and at Webster will be consolidated into one stop which will be located to a mid-block bulb between Fillmore and Webster.
Vision Zero Improvements
As a committed partner in the City’s Vision Zero goal of reaching zero traffic deaths by 2024 we will be making the following safety improvements.
- Daylighting Intersections: Curb corners will be painted red in order to increase visibility of people as they cross the intersection.
- Safety Zones: Some intersections will have temporary painted safety zones layout before permanent pedestrian bulbs are installed. The safety zones, like the pedestrian bulbs, will make people walking more visible to motorists and reduce vehicle turning speeds.
Reflecting our focus on bringing these safety and reliability improvements to Geary corridor travelers as soon as possible it took just 40 days from the time the SFMTA Board approved the project's parking and traffic legislation on August 21 until work crews got started on Monday.
What's Next?
This first round of improvement work is expected to last about four to six weeks. Major construction on the Geary Rapid Project is expected to begin at the end of the year and will continue until the spring of 2021.
Work that is slated to take place during this phase of construction includes:
- Water and sewer upgrades
- Roadway repaving
- New signalized crosswalks at Buchanan and Webster streets
- Bus and pedestrian bulbs
- Removal of the Steiner Street pedestrian bridge
The Geary Rapid Project is the first of two planned projects for Geary. Plans are underway for the Geary Boulevard Improvement Project which will bring similar improvements west of Stanyan Street to 34th Avenue.

Today in History: The Making of the Geary Expressway
By Jeremy Menzies
Travel back 45 years ago today to Oct. 4, 1973 for a glimpse at the transformation of Geary Street into the Geary Expressway. Starting in the mid-1940s, cities across the U.S. were undergoing massive transformations amidst post-war cultural changes that demanded more development based around automobiles. San Francisco was certainly not immune to this "auto fever," and the Geary Expressway was a direct result of these demands.
View east from Geary and Masonic, looking at construction of Geary Expressway underpass and Muni's Presidio Division (at left) on October 4, 1973.
Geary has always been one of the city's most important streets, undergoing change after change from the early days of steam trains and cable cars run by the Geary, Park, and Ocean Railroad to the birth of the San Francisco Municipal Railway in 1912 and beyond. Following World War II, city officials and planners were eyeing Geary once again for a transportation transformation. Multiple plans were considered including running BART along the road and north to Marin County. Amidst the fever pitch of redevelopment and automania, the decision was made to replace Muni's streetcar lines with buses and create a wide expressway dubbed the "Great Wide Way.”
In addition to transforming the streets in this part of town, the Geary Expressway was part of reshaping of the character and population of the surrounding neighborhoods that still affects the city today.
View west from Presidio Avenue showing the construction of the Geary Expressway tunnel between Presidio and Masonic.
Construction of the Geary Expressway took about 15 years, with excavations and wrecking balls coming to the street in early 1960. By the mid '70s, six to eight lanes of asphalt cut across town from Van Ness and into the avenues.
Today, Geary is yet again undergoing a transformation through the Geary Rapid Project, which started construction this week. This project aims to calm the expressway, improving pedestrian safety and transit speed along the corridor, which sees 54,000 Muni riders a day.
