Muni's Unsung Heroes of Black History

Image
Muni's Unsung Heroes of Black History By Jeremy Menzies Black History Month is a great opportunity to tell big important stories, but also to highlight the smaller, less noted stories of everyday people. This week, we're looking back through Muni history at a few people whose day-to-day achievements may not have made headlines but whose contributions nonetheless made a difference to breaking down racial barriers in San Francisco's transit industry. In September 1950, Muni started the "Courtesy Citation" program to honor the hard work of Muni operators. Operators who received commendations from the public would be recognized in the railway's newsletter and entered into the running for "Muni Man of the Month", an award that brought greater recognition in the form of a $50 check and a special card featuring the winner's photo inside Muni vehicles. Lilburn Delaney, conductor on the H Potrero streetcar, leans out the back platform of a car in t...

Results Are In – How Should We Explore Extending The Central Subway?

Results Are In – How Should We Explore Extending The Central Subway? By Phillip Pierce The Central Subway is set to open in summer 2021 and will connect some of the city’s densest neighborhoods and job centers. It is expected to carry tens of thousands of riders everyday from Chinatown, through Union Square and SoMa before linking up with the current above-ground T Third line near the 4th/King Caltrain Station and on to Mission Bay, the Bayview, and Visitacion Valley. While this new line will be vital for San Francisco’s growing population and workforce, we know that now is the time to continue planning for the future.  In order to better understand the needs and goals of the community, we held open house meetings and developed an online survey to gauge interest and explore potential ways to extend the Central Subway. This online survey built on the prior 2015 feasibility study results and previous community meetings on the topic. This interactive survey was given in English,...
