The Transportation Authority recently joined Mayor Breed and Supervisor Brown at the SFMTA's Geary Rapid project groundbreaking.

The completion of this first phase brings much-needed transit reliability and safety improvements, including dedicated bus lanes, sidewalk extensions, traffic signal upgrades, and more along Geary Boulevard between Stanyan Street and Market Street.

The project team recently hosted two virtual town halls as part of our second phase of outreach to share the latest findings from the Geary/19th Avenue Subway and Regional Connections Study.

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority, in coordination with the SFMTA and the San Francisco Planning Department, is studying a potential new rail subway under Geary Boulevard and 19th Avenue, as part of the Geary/19th Avenue Subway and Regional Connections Study.

The vote marks a major milestone for the project which will bring quicker, more reliable service to more than 52,000 people who ride transit along Geary daily.

Geary Bus Rapid Transit will improve Geary Boulevard with much-needed safety improvements and faster, more reliable bus service for the tens of thousands of people who use the 38 Geary and 38R Geary Rapid bus routes every day. Project improvements include red bus-only lanes, signal priority for buses, and safety improvements such as sidewalk extensions and accessible curb ramps.

The Masonic Avenue Streetscape Project is a community-led effort to improve safety for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving on Masonic between Geary and Fell streets. 

This project will design and install rectangular rapid flashing beacons, pedestrian push buttons, and improved signage to improve pedestrian safety at the intersection of 38th Avenue and Geary Boulevard.

Our board approved $9.8 million in Prop L sales tax funds to support three projects across San Francisco that support street and pedestrian safety, ADA access, and regional ferry service.
