All comments will be reviewed by project staff and will be entered into the public record. Comments will be considered by the SFMTA Board before a decision is made.

Final SFMTA Decisions involving certain parking or traffic modifications, whether made by the City Traffic Engineer or the SFMTA Board, can be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to Ordinance 127-18. Information about the review process can be found here.
