Geary Boulevard Improvement Project

Share this:
Update: The Geary Boulevard Improvement Project, including the complete Quick-Build component, was unanimously approved by the SFMTA Board at the August 15 meeting.

In 2021 and 2022 we asked neighbors what their priorities are for the Geary Boulevard Improvement Project. Thanks to input from hundreds of community members over two rounds of outreach, we  used this feedback to draft the detailed project design that   was unanimously approved by the SFMTA Board of Directors    on August 15, 2023. The  approved project includes:

  • Installing transit lanes between 28th and 15th avenues. To make room, angled parking on Geary  has been converted to parallel parking.
  • Relocating 10 bus stops and removing two closely-spaced stops to improve transit performance.
  • Traffic signal upgrades, new bus bulb-outs and lengthening bus zones that are too short to accommodate two buses.
  • Safety improvements, including pedestrian bulb-outs, daylighting, expanded median refuges and left-turn restrictions at key intersections.
  • Curb space changes to accommodate merchant loading needs.
  • New bus bulb-outs, right-turn restrictions and raised crosswalks on Geary at 14th Avenue and Funston

To help offset the loss of parking along Geary Boulevard, we    increased parking spaces on some cross streets by converting some parallel parking to angled parking. See the complete list of where parking has been added or removed.
