After a series of public open houses and meeting with the community, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has finalized the staging locations for L-Taraval Project’s Segment B.
There’s another opportunity to join us at our second open house to learn about the staging locations for L Taraval Improvement Project Segment B’s work (Sunset Boulevard to West Portal).
Update from SFMTA on the construction projects on the N-Judah and L-Taraval streetcar lines.
You’re invited. Please join us to learn more and have a discussion about staging locations for L Taraval Improvement Project Segment B’s work (Sunset Boulevard to West Portal).
Monday, October 21 to Friday, November 8: Construction crew are performing sewer main replacement work on the northside of Taraval Street between 46th and 43rd avenues.
There were many different opinions held by the community, though most were in opposition. It was hoped that this meeting would find an alternate staging area for construction at the large lot cornering Sloat and Lake Merced boulevards.
Forecast of Work Planned for August 26-September 6, 2019.
Starting Thursday, August 15, traffic pattern on lower Great Highway between Ulloa and Santiago streets will be changed. Northbound travel lane on lower Great Highway will be rerouted to 48th Avenue for two blocks between Ulloa and Santiago streets. Southbound travel lane will continue on lower Great Highway as usual. This will be in effect until project completion in 2022.
The votes have been tallied and by more than 50% of the votes, option B- retain more parking, is the winning vote.
Outer Taraval merchants between 46thand 47th avenues sent a letter to San Francisco Mayor London Breed and San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Board members, requesting that the SFMTA provide alternative solutions to staging, provide a traffic study, provide more information about the impact of construction on local businesses and a commitment from SFMTA To receive regular updates during construction.
Starting August 12 and continuing for approximately two weeks, the subway between Embarcadero and West Portal will close early at 9:30 p.m. When the subway closes early, buses will run above ground to connect all stops, beginning at 9:30 p.m. through the normal end of train service at 1 a.m.
When a raucous meeting about plans for the L-Taraval Improvement Project did not go as the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) had hoped, they went back to the drawing board to reassess the plan and have now scheduled another meeting.
Press Release from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), August 1, 2019.
Starting this month, construction is going to begin on Taraval Street as SFMTA/Muni begins a two- to three-year construction project ripping up Taraval Street to install new sewer lines, and then repaving Taraval Street, reinstalling the overhead lines and tracks, building the boarding islands, etc.
The N-Judah streetcar leads all other light rail lines in switchbacks, according to a new San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) report, released after the practice was banned completely from the T-Third-line that serves the Bayview District because of “equity” issues.
