Document Description
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) proposes to permanently legislate transit improvements that were partially implemented under a temporary emergency basis to respond to COVID-19 conditions (Planning Case no. 2020-005472ENV). The project would establish a transit lane on 7th Street between Mission and Stevenson streets by converting a travel lane to a bus and taxi only lane. The striping on 7th Street would be adjusted to facilitate the transition between the proposed transit lane and existing transit lane. In addition, a northbound ‘right lane must turn right’ would be established on 7th Street at Townsend Street. The project would establish a transit lane on 8th Street between Market and Bryant streets by converting a travel lane to a bus and taxi only lane..
