@sbjinsfo Thank you Sarah! It was a huge team of dedicated SFMTA-ers who made this happen. Not to mention the amazing advocacy of @fast_safe_geary and many others.

@BikeBlogChris I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe @sfpublicworks allows sidewalk stickers like these....

I will be bald-faced stealing this for the SF Bike Plan.

I'm in Emeryville this morning and the pedestrian/bike friendly streets are so sexy.

NBD, that's just me with the Geary Rapid core team, the Mayor, and other VIPs celebrating Geary Rapid's on time on budget completion! It was fun to see how excited the Rosa Parks kids were to be a part of the celebration with distinguished alum Mayor Breed!

The Geary Rapid Project will improve one of San Francisco's busiest corridors with new safety ehancements including, upgrades to our bus lanes, traffic signals, crosswalks, and sidewalks--making our corridors safer for pedestrians and faster for people using transit.

@zdeutschgross @sfmta_muni Thanks to all the SF Transit Riders who spoke up about how these lanes have improved your trips!

@andrew_i_am It's in the transportation code section 601 codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/san_fran…

3.5 miles of Geary are going red right now! That's a 20% increase in SF's total red lane mileage! sfmta.com/blog/rolling-o…
English
@lizonthebus Yay this is so great to see! The blog post talks about refreshing and adding red lanes east of Van Ness in the fall. Does that mean the bus lanes east of Powell will finally be painted red too? They were left out of the first batch in 2015 bc of Central Subwy construction I think

@mariotanev @sfmta_muni the 50-75% figure is for 33rd-Arguello - there are the limits where we made Geary TETL improvements (including transit lanes, wooden bulbs, and leading transit intervals). The transit lane was only installed for a subset of those limits.
English
@lizonthebus @sfmta_muni I think the 50-75% are measured on the affected blocks, so expanding through Central Richmond will not affect those. As for the other treatments, it would be good to have a benchmark of say 80% and keep pursuing changes (including diversion of autos) until it's achieved.
English
Moving SF - Since emergency transit lanes were installed in the Richmond neighborhood last winter, we have been able to lock in 50-75% of those travel time savings for 38 Geary customers where transit lanes were added. sfmta.com/blog/geary-tra…

@FamilyTransitD1 @sfmta_muni @SFTRU I just want to clarify, the Geary TETL project does not include transit lanes in the Central Richmond. The Geary Boulevard Improvement Project (second Phase of Geary BRT) which will launch outreach later this year and hopefully seek approvals early 2022 will.
English
@mariotanev @sfmta_muni Implementing the rest of the Geary Boulevard Improvement Project upgrades (transit lanes through Central Richmond, bus bulbs, stop optimization, signal re-timing) will certainly help!
English
@sfmta_muni What would be needed to lock in the remaining 25%-50%?
English
@FamilyTransitD1 the plan is for the lanes to go through the Central Richmond as well!

So he checked in with @sfmta_muni planning manager @lizonthebus, who is overseeing the Geary improvement project, to find out what's happening, where this work stands, and what we can learn here thefrisc.com/sfs-20-year-dr… 3/3

After 20 years, San Francisco finally gave up trying to build a bus lane. This is what institutional rot looks like. This is what a #vetocracy looks like.

NEW: Two decades ago, #SF dreamed of BRT on Geary from downtown to the beach, separating buses from autos, double-parkers, right-turners, livery vehicles, the whole knot of traffic. Then came the meetings, studies, designs, and lawsuits. But the plan kept plodding along ... 1/

@sbuss A side-running transit lane is much better than a general purpose travel lane. Like the article says, we saw 20% improvement in travel time east of Stanyan when we installed in late 2018. The existing lanes will be colored red beginning this summer which should help even more.
English
@lizonthebus Buses will now be stuck behind cars instead of getting their own right of way. I'm sure the changes are cheaper, but you can't justify spending twenty years on this. The process is broken, don't make excuses for it.
English
@sbuss The EIR analysis found pretty similar transit travel time and reliability performance between center and side running alternatives. The lack of bus passing lanes plus the overall short length of the center running segment upped the cost way more than the benefit
English
@lizonthebus It's no longer a center-running protected bus-only lane. It's now some paint and, what, soft-hit posts that drivers always ignore? Twenty years and we get something that could be done in a weekend. The whole process is embarrassing.
