M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project - Virtual Public Hearing

Effective Date
Friday, August 25, 2023 - 9:00am to Friday, September 8, 2023 - 11:45pm

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is holding a virtual public hearing via this website starting on Friday, August 25, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. through Friday, September 8, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. The purpose of the virtual public hearing is to get public feedback on the street and transit stop changes along the M Ocean View corridor. 

 

The M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project aims to improve reliability and travel times of the M Ocean View, as well as enhance accessibility and safety for all users of the street. The project is focused on improving the M Ocean View corridor in the Ocean View neighborhood between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Balboa Park BART Station. The project team has worked closely with the Ocean View community to determine where improvements are most needed and where the initial proposals could be revised to better serve the diverse needs of local community organizations, residents and M train riders.

To participate in the open house, view the proposals in our online StoryMap.
