The northeastern neighborhood of the Mission District is one of San Francisco's most dynamic and diverse areas. It features a mix of commercial and industrial businesses, residential homes, and recreational destinations that make it both unique and attractive. However, the absence of parking regulations has resulted in ongoing challenges related to parking and curb access for residents, workers, and visitors. Residents and businesses have reached out to the SFMTA regarding parking conflicts and requested regulations to improve access for parking and loading. Through outreach, residents and businesses created a proposal for parking regulations. Click the buttons below to learn more if you live, work or visit the Northeast Mission.

Community Engagement
The SFMTA has collaborated closely with local residents, businesses, community groups, and users of the Northeast Mission corridors since the project began.
Since 2019, the staff has engaged with community members and other stakeholders through various events: four community workshops, nine scheduled office hours, eleven public Working Group meetings, five open house events, and two SFMTA Engineering Public Hearings.
Additionally, staff connected with community groups through individually scheduled meetings, distributed notifications for the open houses, and conducted Commuter/Parking surveys.
