Live on Monday - Click Here to Access the Virtual Open House

The SFMTA will be holding a Virtual Open House on the Bayview Hunters Point Quick-Build Project for Evans Avenue, Hunters Point Boulevard, and Innes Avenue. This project is an effort to improve pedestrian and cyclist visibility while reducing opportunities for reckless driving by implementing cost-effective and temporary design treatments that can be installed quickly. At the event you can learn more about the proposed changes, ask questions or make official public comments. 

Virtual Open House for the Bayview Quick Build Project

Virtual Open House Details 

Join us online starting September 7- September 21. The interactive, online event can be accessed at any time during the two-week period. Like the SFMTA’s in-person project open houses, when you access the event you will be able to learn more about the project such as the schedule, project background, and other aspects through virtual informational boards. Community members will then have an opportunity to see the proposed design, ask questions via email, leave public comments about the project and provide feedback through our survey. Project staff will respond to questions and comments received and the responses will be posted back to the Virtual Open House web page in a couple of days. Office hours for community members to speak directly with the project team regarding concernswill also be held. 

Proposed Quick-build Improvements 

  • Reducing travel lanes and installing edge lines to calm traffic, address excessive roadway capacity and to define roadway space for parking, walking, and biking 
  • Installing crosswalks, painted pedestrian median islands, and painted safety zones to increase visibility, safety and comfort for pedestrians 
  • Potential for  extended pedestrian walkway and protected bicycle lanes to provide a buffer between vehicles and increase safety for non-motorized travel (walking, biking, etc.) 

Project Background 

The Bayview District is one of San Francisco's most diverse and distinct areas, with a rich history as a traditionally African American neighborhood. As the City moves forward, the Bayview continues to grow as well, but the streets have not changed with it to meet the community's evolving needs. Several residents, businesses, and community-based organizations have reached out calling for comprehensive changes to the streets that can support the community's transportation needs and priorities. Some of the most frequent issues raised include aggressive speeding, reckless driving, and unsafe behavior that place undue stress on the streets. 

Bayview Quick-Build Transportation Projects seek to improve traffic safety for all roadway users. Recognizing the immediate need for transportation improvements in Bayview Hunters Point, locations for near term improvements were identified during the planning phase of the Bayview Community Based Transportation Plan (CBTP).

Reconnecting San Francisco Across Streets and Freeways

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 ma

Have Feedback on the COVID-19 Muni Temporary Service Plan? By Shalon Rogers In March 2020, due to unprecedented constraints on resources brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the SFMTA had to make significant transit service reductions. As of January 2021, the agency has been able to restore service to a level where 91% of San Franciscans are within a quarter mile of a transit stop. This is reflected in the SFMTA’s current  COVID-19 Temporary Service Plan .   ' COVID-19 Temporary Service Plan Map The SFMTA is committed to ensuring that our programs and services are  compliant with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964  and therefore do not have a discriminatory impact based on race, color or national origin. As part of this work, we conducted a Title VI service equity analysis to evaluate the current COVID-19 Temporary Service Plan. The results of this analysis will be presented to the MTA Board of Directors on May 4. The public is invited to attend and provide comments on

Starting November 19, when Muni Metro riders can first take Central Subway's special weekend service to Chinatown,  prepare to spend the day in Chinatown enjoying all its sights, sounds and flavors. There is so much to explore in the largest Chinatown outside Asia! Tourist attractions include the Dragon’s Gate, Old St. Mary’s Cathedral and Portsmouth Square, the site of San Francisco’s original customs house where today, members of the Chinese community spend the days singing or playing mahjong, a traditional and very popular tile-based game. Fans of Amy Tan’s novel, The Joy Luck Club, can meander the streets of Chinatown searching for the places where her story unfolds. On Wavery Place you can visit the First Baptist Church where the four mothers in the story meet to play mahjong. Muni M
