Community Engagement

Folsom-Howard Community Engagement

  • Meetings with 20 community groups
  • 550 people attended open houses
  • Knocked on 165 businesses’ doors
  • 110 meetings with local businesses
  • 150 business loading surveys completed
  • 27,000 open house notification postcards delivered
  • Distributed 600 open house notification posters
  • 100s of hours of staff outreach

The SFMTA has worked in close collaboration with neighbors, local businesses, community groups and users of the Folsom and Howard Street corridors since initiation of the project. 

In Winter 2016, the SFMTA held two open houses and conducted an online survey to take feedback on their values and priorities. In April 2017, two open houses were held to show possible alternatives to the public and request feedback. In January 2019, the SFMTA presented the final proposed long-term designs of the corridor at two open houses.

By working closely with the community to align project goals, the SFMTA was able to secure legislative approval of the project in Spring 2019. We will continue to engage the community in coordination with our partners at Public Works to finalize the public realm elements of the project and to inform users and residents of construction updates.
