At the February 24 Transportation Authority board meeting, the Board approved $200,000 in half-cent sales tax funds to support the Mission / Alemany Community Based Transportation Plan. The project is led by the Transportation Authority with support from Transportation Authority board member and District 11 Supervisor Chyanne Chen and the SFMTA.
The study will address transportation safety, access, and circulation challenges and gaps focused around Equity Priority Communities in the Mission Street corridor between San Jose and Silver avenues in the Outer Mission, Balboa Park, Crocker-Amazon and Excelsior neighborhoods, prioritizing groups such as seniors, youth, and other hard-to-reach communities.
Large sections of major roadways in the corridor area, including Mission, Alemany, and Geneva Avenue are located on the city’s High Injury Network.
The Mission / Alemany Community Based Transportation Plan will engage community members in collaborative decision making, including convening a community advisory group composed of community leaders and agency staff. The community advisory group will serve both an engagement and technical advisory committee role and will be selected in partnership with the District 11 office.
The total cost of the project is $570,00, leveraging $370,000 in federal funds from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for community based transportation plans. A final report is expected to be presented to the Transportation Authority Board in June 2027.
