San Francisco - Transportation & Infrastructure

The Muni metro, which shut down in August after just three days of post-pandemic operation, won't return for months.

The new round of work, fixing a problem discovered during the last excavation of Haight Street, should take about three months to complete.

Moped share is back in San Francisco with the arrival of a new player, Revel. But the bikes are almost entirely concentrated in wealthier neighborhoods.

After some unlucky breaks that led to "unacceptable" service, Muni's light-rail lines are shifting back to bus shuttles.

The driver, who joked about "incriminating himself" on social media, killed a 50-year-old father of two.

With eight high-speed lanes, this stretch of Geary is considered a high-injury corridor by the city.

The return of Muni trains means new infrastructure and changes to traffic and parking. Read on to see how your neighborhood is affected.

In the past month, two more pedestrians have died in the same area where beloved grocer Gus Vardakastanis was struck and killed in 2017.

"It’s happening," District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston wrote on Twitter.

Some of Muni's mothballed bus lines are also set to return.

A male passerby sustained life-threatening injuries resulting from a Friday "hill bomb" on Dolores, and two skateboarders were also hurt.

The proposal creates a route for walking and biking from Ocean Beach to Market Street, but still leaves many dense neighborhoods without relief from crowded sidewalks.

With the bike lane delayed, advocates say the Panhandle path is "crowded and unsafe," and makes social distancing impossible.

Reduced area traffic gave crews the opportunity to accelerate work and push up the expected completion date on the long-running project.

Muni has been faster than ever during shelter-in-place, and as cars return to the roads, officials want to keep key bus lines moving.

The city also plans to resume enforcing meter time limits.

Lyft, Bay Wheels' parent company, is currently running a neighborhood survey on where the three new bike docks should go.

"Now as we’re reopening, we’ve reached the point where we must resume parking enforcement so that we can clean our streets," Mayor London Breed said.

The bikeway improvements, which began in 2016 following two deadly hit-and-run collisions, will provide an uninterrupted protected bike lane between Market Street and Mission Bay.

The new westbound bike lane on Fell is intended to take pressure off the Panhandle's crowded mixed-use path.

Built in 1962, the bridge is set to come down as part of the project to speed up the 38 and 38R-Geary buses.

Starting this week, some streets will be closed to through vehicle traffic in order to prioritize walking and biking as well as to provide more space for social distancing.

Muni is slicing service to just 17 key lines as the shelter-in-place wears on.

"The decision to shutter the subways to promote social distancing has completely backfired," wrote one commuter.

Several bus lines are also being cut back as the agency loses $1 million a week from decreased ridership.
