Updating Parking Meter Pricing and Reprioritizing Enforcement

Image
Updating Parking Meter Pricing and Reprioritizing Enforcement By Phillip Pierce As the Bay Area enters the next phases of reopening, demand for on-street parking is continuing to increase, especially while transit service is limited under the  Core Muni Service Plan  and with physical distancing transit vehicle capacity restrictions in place. Parking meters are a key tool for making sure San Franciscans have access to our commercial corridors by making finding parking easier. For that reason, after temporarily suspending time limits and lowering meter prices at meters in response to the shelter-in-place order, starting on Monday, July 6 we will be restoring meter prices close to normal levels and reprioritizing enforcement.  Deep Cleaning Parking Meters – Our parking meter crews now deep cleans each m...

Leading with Pride

Image
Leading with Pride By Jeffrey Tumlin addresses participants and attendees, including Mayor London Breed, at the Better Market Street opening day ceremony on Jan. 29. This week we are profiling several agency leaders, including Director of Transportation Jeffrey Tumlin, on their thoughts about this month’s Pride celebrations and their experience with equity and transit in San Francisco. Our agency has participated as a sponsor and with a parade contingent in San Francisco’s world-renown Pride celebration for many years. Last week Director of Transportation Jeffrey Tumlin logged in with our communications team to share some of his background and perspective on the 50th anniversary of Pride. The questions and answers have been edited for length. Q: What does the 50th anniversary of Pride mean to you? A: I think the 50th anniversary of Pride is interesting in the context of the George Floyd anti-police brutality protests that are happening in San Francisco. Pride started as a ri...

Fast-Tracking Transit Lanes to Help the City's Recovery

Image
Fast-Tracking Transit Lanes to Help the City's Recovery By Amy Fowler Map of temporary emergency transit lanes being proposed at the June 30 SFMTA Board of Directors meeting We don’t have a crystal ball to see into San Francisco’s future, but one thing is clear: a citywide economic recovery is dependent in large part on a transportation recovery. And while we work to come back from one crisis, we’re looking to avert another—traffic gridlock. With hundreds of thousands of people dependent on transit to get around before COVID-19, our city is uniquely vulnerable to increased congestion. Congestion is already on the rise, and some studies are predicting that people may turn increasingly to private vehicles, turning the streets into a “Carmageddon” for both cars and transit. Our city’s streets simply don’t have room for more vehicles. At the same time, COVID-19 has impacted our ability to provide Muni service.
