Roundtable at the Community Parklet Shares Project Updates

This past week, the SFMTA hosted a media roundtable discussing updates about the L Taraval Improvement Project at the community parklet located in front of the The Rolling Out Café on Taraval St.

Segment B construction began in February 2022 and is scheduled to be completed Fall 2024. Sewer and water infrastructure work is currently taking place. Future work includes track work, overhead line work, the construction of new boarding islands and streetscape improvements. 

On hand to answer questions and provide updates was District Four Supervisor Gordon Mar, SFMTA Board Director Sharon Lai and Director of Transportation Jefferey Tumlin.

The Roundtable

Supervisor Mar opened the discussion by highlighting the many benefits that the local community will receive with the planned infrastructure upgrades along the corridor. These benefits include:

Replacing sewer and water lines to allow for longer longevity of utility lines
Track upgrades resulting in a smoother ride and less noise for residents and merchants
New safety boarding islands for safer boarding and off boarding for Muni customers and for ADA compliance
Sidewalk bulbouts and pedestrian crossing at intersections for enhanced visibility and to make pedestrian crossing safer

We value our community partnerships, frequently provide updates and listen to and address community needs and concerns from individual residents and community organizations like the People of Parkside (POPS). As part of the community outreach for project updates, we utilize media in multiple languages, develop multilingual printed materials, use social media, post web updates on project pages and send out email and text updates to subscribers to keep the community informed about potential impacts. Director Tumlin reminded everyone that we depend on our community partners for the success of this project. The partnership is what has led the way during the planning, design and construction of the entire L Taraval Improvement Project.

A construction mitigation program is active for the project to help lessen the impacts to residents and local businesses during construction. The program integrates construction mitigation measures such as dust mitigation, traffic control, and loading, delivery and parking assistance mitigation. The SFMTA in partnership with the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) will support small businesses with resources and a suite of services such as free consulting, technical assistance, and the creation of a business action plan. A small business working group has been formed as part of the project and will develop a marketing campaign specific to the businesses in the Taraval neighborhood.

The Community Parklet

Designated as a public space for the neighborhood and Parkside’s first parklet, the community parklet in front of the Rolling Out Café located at 1722 Taraval St. between 27th and 28th avenues was built as a community effort. Demonstrating tenacity, proprietor Bruno Tse of The Rolling Out Café drove fundraising efforts to solicit and secure the donations and funding needed to complete the parklet. Since its opening in 2016, he has also taken care of the upkeep. Slated for removal this month for the duration of construction, the parklet will be rebuilt once the project is completed. The unique design elements and plaques with contributors’ names have been saved and will be incorporated into the new structure.

The L Taraval Improvement Project

The L Taraval Improvement Project is a multi-agency collaboration with the SF Public Utilities Commission and the Department of Public Works to improve and upgrade the aging infrastructure to make pedestrian crossing safer, increase accessibility and improve transit reliability.

Muni’s Equity Toolkit Helps Essential Employees Get to Work

Muni’s Equity Toolkit Helps Essential Employees Get to Work By Mariana Maguire The latest data from SFMTA’s new Equity Toolkit shows that Muni service changes are helping people in neighborhoods identified by our Muni Service Equity Strategy access more jobs and support the city’s recovery. In winter 2020, we launched the SFMTA Equity Toolkit to understand how service decisions are affecting neighborhoods where there is likely a high prevalence of essential workers who rely predominantly on Muni to get to their essential jobs. Our goal is to make better service decisions based on the trends and impacts we see in the Equity Toolkit. Recently, the greatest increases in access to jobs via Muni have been in Hunters Point and Western Addition. The Hunters Point neighborhood saw the largest gains from the addition of the 15 Bayview-Hunters Point Express , as demonstrated in the table below. Thanks to the return of key Muni lines and increased frequencies on connector routes, I

Powered Scooters Charge City’s Transportation Recovery

Powered Scooters Charge City’s Transportation Recovery By Jason Hyde The SFMTA is releasing its next round of Powered Scooter Share permits on July 1. Scooters remain a sustainable mode of travel and a complement to Muni and public transit service as the city recovers from the pandemic and San Franciscans begin to travel more. The SFMTA’s Powered Scooter Share Program is essential in ensuring that shared scooter operations support the city’s economic recovery in a safe, sustainable, and equitable way. The SFMTA received four submittals for the permit program and will issue permits to two operators : Spin and Lime. Permits will be in effect for a one-year term, with the option to extend for another year at the discretion of the SFMTA based on compliance with various program metrics. While the new permit program does not set a limit on the number of scooters each operator may deploy, it does limit the overall citywide fleet size at 10,000. Starting at a base of 2,000 scooters per

New top story from Time: 3 Killed in Northern California as Wildfires Force Thousands to Evacuate

https://ift.tt/34at2Uy (SAN FRANCISCO) — Northern California’s wine country was on fire again Monday as strong winds fanned flames in the already scorched region, destroying homes and prompting orders for nearly 70,000 people to evacuated. Meanwhile, three people died in a separate fire further north in the state. In Sonoma County, residents of the Oakmont Gardens senior living facility in Santa Rosa boarded brightly lit city buses in the darkness overnight, some wearing bathrobes and using walkers. They wore masks to protect against the coronavirus as orange flames marked the dark sky. The fire threat forced Adventist Health St. Helena hospital to suspend care and transfer all patients elsewhere. The fires that began Sunday in the famed Napa-Sonoma wine country about 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of San Francisco came as the region nears the third anniversary of deadly wildfires that erupted in 2017, including one that killed 22 people. Just a month ago, many of those

Traffic Collisions have Decreased on San Francisco’s Slow Streets

Traffic Collisions have Decreased on San Francisco’s Slow Streets By Julia Malmo As a whole, Slow Streets are safer than they were before being designated Slow Streets Streets that are part of the SFMTA’s Slow Streets Program have become measurably safer since the program began in 2020, with the number of traffic crashes falling by almost half. On average, these corridors have seen a 48% drop in collisions following their designation as Slow Streets, compared with a 14% drop in collisions citywide over the same period. Slow Streets also are more welcoming for people who walk, bike and roll. Fewer than 1,000 vehicles per day use all but four of the current Slow Streets (20th Street, Minnesota Street, Noe Street, and Page Street). The goal of the program is to create safe, shared streets that are comfortable and enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities, using any mode of transportation. We now can see how it’s doing in a new evaluation report . When the SFMTA Board appr

New top story from Time: How History Is Repeating Itself for Haitian Migrants Trying to Enter the U.S.

https://ift.tt/3upRk9U In the past 11 years alone, Haitians have suffered natural disasters, rising gang violence, outbreaks of cholera and COVID-19, and political instability, including the recent assassination of President Jovenel Moïse . The crises left many in the hemisphere’s poorest nation feeling they had no option but to leave—despite the difficulties they face in fleeing to other countries. In late September, Americans were confronted with the reality of those difficulties too. An estimated 15,000 people arrived in Del Rio, Texas, during the month, below a bridge connecting the city to Mexico’s Ciudad Acuña. A majority were Haitian nationals, migrants and asylum seekers who ended up living in tents or under tarps, in conditions similar to those in other camps that have formed along the U.S.-Mexico border in recent years.
