From way back when Twitter was a fun place to share nerdy city planning analysis.

An oldie but a goodie… now overlaid with rail.

True — and here’s how Muni got much better:

-100 miles of transit priority upgrades
-Scheduling service based on actual operator availability
-Headway-based service management + strong ops mgmt
-Enhanced maintenance
-New fleet + tech upgrades
-Redesigned routes

Just in time for the holidays: the M Ocean View terminal stop at Balboa Park just got major safety improvements. What a dramatic change. Also -- this is the first location for a new transit stop lighting pilot project, using solar lights. Check it out if you're nearby.

"I really wish JR could experience this, but I think he knows."

A lovely profile of Christopher Owens by @zackruskin.bsky.social for the @sfchronicle.com. Emotionally preparing myself for the SF show on Monday too 🙏

Loving the stunning drone footage throughout this video — making the case for Taraval as among the most scenic light rail lines anywhere.

Very fun podcast episode about the Taraval project. Transformative work, on a street that is in the running for my favorite commercial corridor in SF.

In our 7x7 mile city, SF now has 75 miles of transit-only lanes. Result:
- Buses up to 35% faster
- 50% reduction in injury collisions on transit corridors
- Highest public approval rating since 2001
- Over 10 lines exceeding pre-COVID ridership

Hello!

This is a personal account, but I hope to post about what we’ve accomplished with transit priority in SF (a lot!), where we’re headed next, and challenges to project delivery.

Also looking to learn from peer cities, especially when it comes to solving for signal priority and intersections.

SFMTA and Public Works are planning a plaza on Church Street near Market Street.

The plaza would widen the sidewalk, create space for local businesses and community, and provide a better experience for people walking, biking, and taking public transportation.

What do you think?

Check out the absolutely beautiful designs for the upcoming Church and Market transit plaza. Still a lot of detail design work to do, but looking forward to seeing this come to life. www.sfmta.com/reports/chur...

The dream of the 90s is alive at Stonestown

SF is known for its cable cars, but we're really a city of buses. This awesome video by @streetfilms.bsky.social shows how we're transforming our city into the "Copenhagen of transit priority".

Memories. #sf #transit

New bus stop “bulbout” under construction on Fulton at Arguello in SF. Will help speed up the 5/5R and create a safer crossing for people walking.
