Tomorrow’s meeting will include an overview of the recommendations from the Late Night Transportation Working Group as well as a request to place the 2015 order for 98 new New Flyer low-floor biodiesel hybrid buses. The contract with New Flyer is for 200 buses and allows for us to acquire them through annual options. Tomorrow, staff will ask the Board to approve the option for this year.

The SFMTA is working on making San Francisco transportation safer and more reliable. Community members are encouraged to attend the meeting and receive the latest information about the Muni Forward 14 Mission Rapid Project. The proposed improvements along Mission Street include: removing turn conflicts at busy intersections, adding transit sidewalk extensions and establishing transit-only lanes to reduce muni delays. As a part of this effort we are holding a public forum regarding the proposed changes along the corridor.
At our April open house we’ll be gathering input on the top two design options (.pdf) for transit-only lanes on Mission Street.
If you cannot attend, but would still like to provide feedback about the 14 Mission project, please take the online survey for the project.
