About
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's St. Francis Circle Rail Replacement Project will affect parking and traffic in West Portal. The replacement of Muni tracks and other improvements at St. Francis Circle were scheduled to start on Monday, May 17 and conclude in late summer.
While the SFMTA Capital Improvement Program is designed to keep all elements of the transportation network in a state of good repair and safe operation, we know that there will be inconveniences during construction such as:
- Construction dust and noise
- The presence of construction equipment and crews
- Periodic traffic lane closures
- Traffic detours
- Slower traffic
- Increased traffic on side streets
To minimize these inconveniences, the SFMTA is implementing a series of measures including:
- Proceeding with work seven days a week to finish construction as quickly as possible
- Only working from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and
8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends, so that there will not be any activity overnight
- Providing Traffic Control Officers to keep traffic flowing
