On October 28, the SFMTA Livable Streets Facebook page will merge with the agency's main page at SFMTA | San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. This means that all of our bike and pedestrian-related info will be posted on the main SFMTA Facebook page, and this page will become inactive. This update is part of how we’re working to highlight safer streets more strongly in all of our conversations. For Livable Streets fans, this means more updates and details, not less.

Recently, an advocacy group called SFMTrA installed their own safe hit posts along a section of the John F. Kennedy Drive bike lane at the eastern entrance to Golden Gate Park. Because the city is moving towards smaller street sweepers, we'll be able to leave these unofficial posts in place until we can install our own.

Progress being made at 9th/Division, the site of our first "protected intersection." This island significantly shortens two crossings for pedestrians and provides a slot for bicyclists, while also encouraging slower speed right turns by motorists.

In October, the next step in our city’s Safe Streets SF campaign begins with a year-long initiative to bring more strategic enforcement to curb speeding - and study its effectiveness - on San Francisco’s most speed-prone streets.

Upcoming community meeting regarding proposals for 7th and 8th Street: 7th Street and 8th Street Safety Projects Open House: 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 22 Bayanihan Community Center 1010 Mission Street x. 6th Street... Nearby Muni Routes: 14 Mission, F Market, Metro-Civic Center Station 7th and 8th streets are intersected by multiple high injury corridors on San Francisco’s High Injury Network, which is the 12 percent of city streets that account for 70 percent of San Francisco’s traffic crashes. They are busy, one-way streets that are crucial to keeping San Francisco moving. This project will make these streets safer and more comfortable for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. SFMTA staff will provide details on the project and discuss how a planned re-route of the 19 Polk will make it safer and quicker through the SoMa and Civic Center neighborhoods. Staff will also gather feedback on how parking and loading can be better managed.
