A Day in History: Market Street Subway Milestone

A Day in History: Market Street Subway Milestone By Jeremy Menzies Forty-five years ago on January 31, 1978, San Francisco Muni and city officials along with members of the press took an inaugural ride in the brand new Market Street Subway from Castro Station to Embarcadero. The inaugural run traveled roughly three miles from Castro Station to Embarcadero Station. The three-mile-long Market Street Subway forms the backbone of the Muni Metro system. Built alongside the BART tunnel which runs below, the subway provided faster service through downtown for local and regional travelers. San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Public Utilities Commissioner Claire Pilcher pose for a photo in the operator’s compartment of one of Muni’s first light rail vehicles. In development for 50 years and under construction for another ten, the Market Street Subway took longer to implement than any other transit project before or after. A large crowd of people and press came out for the ride and

Help Shape the Future of Active Transportation in SF!

Help Shape the Future of Active Transportation in SF! By Eillie Anzilotti The Active Communities Plan will making biking safer, more accessible and more joyful for all.   San Francisco is creating a new plan for active transportation — and every person has a role to play in shaping it!   We are excited to share that the Active Communities Plan officially launches this month.

As network use grows, people need better and safer places to ride. Supporting safe, low-carbon travel is more important than ever, but many communities also have concerns about the implications of these changes. We n

Replacing Parking Meters with (Actual) Bike Parking

Replacing Parking Meters with (Actual) Bike Parking By Eillie Anzilotti Did you know you can submit a request for new bike parking? Anyone who rides a bike in San Francisco knows: A parking meter is not just a parking meter. Like street sign poles, meters are also a place to lock your bike when you’re out running errands and exploring the city.  As an agency, we’re working towards the goal of making bike racks and corrals available across the city, wherever people need them. In the meantime, we recognize that informal bike and scooter parking options, like parking meters, meet people’s needs.   So, when we announced a campaign last year to remove existing parking meters and replace them with pay stations, this brought up a question: what does this mean for bike parking?  We strive to install bike racks to replace parking options wherever meters are removed. Right now, our bike parking team is focused on identifying locations for new racks in high-demand areas like the Mission an
