Muni Adding More Service July 9

The 6 Haight/Parnassus was temporarily suspended in March 2020 and will be brought back into service July 9, 2022, along with the 2 Sutter and 21 Hayes.

As the SFMTA prioritizes service equity and responds to changing travel patterns, we are planning to bring back additional routes that have been temporarily suspended since March 2020: The 2 Sutter (formerly 2 Clement), 6 Haight/Parnassus and 21 Hayes. The 6 Haight/Parnassus will return to its full pre-pandemic route, while the 2 Sutter and 21 Hayes will return in response to community feedback with changes to make the most of limited resources. System improvements like transit-only lanes and subway upgrades have helped us make transit service more reliable overall as we keep restoring routes.

These changes are part of the 2022 Muni Service Network plan. Read more about what we heard from the public and how we incorporated feedback into the 2022 service proposal.

The 2 Sutter will run between Ferry Plaza on Steuart Street near Embarcadero and Presidio Avenue and California Street, restoring connections to the Jewish Community Center food hub – a priority for many seniors we heard from. Customers who want to reach Clement Street (one block south of California Street) will be able to transfer to the 1 California at California Street and Presidio Avenue to continue west.

The 21 Hayes will run between Fulton and Shrader streets near St. Mary’s Hospital to Hyde and Grove streets, by Civic Center Station and the Main Library, restoring connections to the hospital. Customers who want to continue along Market Street can transfer to any eastbound Muni Metro subway route, the F Market surface rail, or one of the bus routes serving Market Street including the 6 Haight/Parnassus and 7 Haight/Noriega.

We will publish comprehensive service change details including maps later this month.

Route Modifications

We plan to make modifications to several existing routes to restore access and connections that community members have requested. These modifications improve or restore connections to food hubs and hospitals for people with disabilities and seniors and access to jobs for Service Equity neighborhoods

The 23 Monterey will be extended to its pre-pandemic route along Sloat Boulevard.
The 28 19th Avenue will be extended to Powell and Beach streets to provide east-west connections to Fisherman’s Wharf across the northern part of the city.

The 43 Masonic will be extended to its pre-pandemic route to serve the Presidio, Marina and Fort Mason.
The 52 Excelsior will return to its pre-pandemic route.
The 57 Parkmerced will be extended to West Portal.
The 58 Lake Merced will return to Lake Merced Boulevard and Brotherhood Way.
The 66 Quintara will return to its pre-pandemic route.

In addition to these changes, the L Bus will be shortened and increase frequency between the San Francisco Zoo and West Portal Station in response to changing trip patterns and subway improvements. With more subway reliability after extensive repairs and maintenance, many L Bus riders are choosing to transfer to the subway at West Portal for a faster ride to downtown. This allows us to shorten the L Bus route while increasing frequency and putting limited resources on other routes that are experiencing crowding.

Looking Ahead

We plan to continue implementing the approved 2022 Muni Service Network in additional phases as we bring more transit operators onboard. Read more about the complete 2022 Muni Service Network plan.

New top story from Time: Judge: U.S. Must Free Migrant Children Detained With Parents

https://ift.tt/2Vn00hg (HOUSTON) — A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of children held with their parents in U.S. immigration jails and denounced the Trump administration’s prolonged detention of families during the coronavirus pandemic. U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee’s order applies to children held for more than 20 days at three family detention centers in Texas and Pennsylvania operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Some have been detained since last year. Citing the recent spread of the virus in two of the three facilities, Gee set a deadline of July 17 for children to either be released with their parents or sent to family sponsors. The family detention centers “are ‘on fire’ and there is no more time for half measures,” she wrote.

New top story from Time: Facebook Wanted to Be a Force for Good in Myanmar. Now Its Rejecting a Request to Help With a Genocide Investigation

https://ift.tt/2DT0fLt Just when it seemed like Facebook’s controversies might have peaked, the company now appears to be obstructing a genocide investigation , and it’s using U.S. law to do it. The West African nation The Gambia is seeking to hold Myanmar accountable for charges of genocide against the Rohingya people , an ethnic and religious minority. In 2016 and 2017, Myanmar soldiers and their civilian proxies massacred Rohingya men, women and children, raped women and girls and razed villages, forcing more than 800,000 to flee into neighboring Bangladesh. Facebook’s role in these atrocities isn’t news. In 2018, Facebook acknowledged it was used to “foment division and incite offline violence” in Myanmar, where the social media platform is so ubiquitous it’s often synonymous with the internet. An independent report commissioned by the company documented the same, as did independent fact-finders appointed by the U.N. In response, Facebook took down the account ...

Scooter Sidewalk Riding Detection Technology Demonstration

Scooter Sidewalk Riding Detection Technology Demonstration By Sarah Hellman The SFMTA held a public demonstration of e-scooter sidewalk riding detection technology on Thursday, May 12, 2022 involving the three permittees: Lime, Scoot, and Spin. The demonstrations were required as part of the SFMTA’s Powered Scooter Share Program, which ensures that shared scooter operations support the City’s recovery from the pandemic in a safe, sustainable, and equitable way. This includes keeping our sidewalks safe, particularly for our most vulnerable pedestrians and road users. Scooter sidewalk riding is illegal pursuant to the California Vehicle Code Section §21235(g) and poses significant risk to pedestrian and scooter rider safety, particularly for older adults or persons with disabilities using the sidewalk. Sidewalk riding detection technology enables the device to detect sidewalk riding in real time. Once detected, the scooter automatically slows the rider to a safer speed. We...

The Future of Slow Streets

The Future of Slow Streets By Eillie Anzilotti Over the past two years, Slow Streets have shown how simple designs that prioritize people can transform streets. Suddenly, streets across San Francisco filled with the sounds of kids playing and neighbors chatting. They filled with people on bicycles and people rolling in wheelchairs; with joggers and dog-walkers. The streets came to life. Initially, the SFMTA introduced Slow Streets as an emergency response to COVID-19. People needed space for recreating at a safe distance outdoors. And with Muni service reduced or suspended at the time, people needed ways to travel to essential destinations on foot or bike. To quickly meet these early pandemic needs, we implemented Slow Streets with simple signs and barricades. Over time, it became clear that Slow Streets served an even larger purpose. They became places for communities to come together. Neighbors organized events like scavenger hunts and Trick or Treat parties around their local Sl...

More Muni Service Coming in August

More Muni Service Coming in August By Julie Kirschbaum The SFMTA is updating and expanding our next big service change targeted for August 14. These adjustments take into account stakeholder feedback and changes in COVID-19 regulations like physical distancing and our ability to switch operators in the field rather than having to return vehicles to their yards first for cleaning. Enhancements to our previously announced plan include expanding evening service and restoring Muni Owl All-nighter service, adding back four more routes and restoring or adjusting segments on several others. Expanded Evening Service As San Francisco reopens, people are traveling later for work, shopping and dining. To help workers and shoppers get around town we plan to expand service hours on 16 key routes. Instead of 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., these routes will operate from 5 a.m. to midnight. Muni’s full late-night Owl network is scheduled to be restored in August, providing service from midnight to 5 a.m....
