To: San Francisco Taxi Drivers
The 15-minute parking inside Taxi Lot 2 (the round lot) is moving. The new parking is available now, and the old stalls will close on the morning of Wednesday, November 6th, 2024.
To reach the new 15-minute parking, go up the entry ramp to where the Curbside staffer checks you in, then keep turning right. The new 15-minute parking is just inside the regular parking lot, where the old Taxi Lot 3 lineup used to be before TaxiVQ. As always, please use caution if crossing a road to reach your destination.
On Wednesday, November 6 and Thursday, November 7, all taxis lining up will be sent straight to Lot 1 while Lot 2 (the round lot) is closed for painting work.
On Friday, November 8, 2024, Taxi Lot 1 (the lot after the payment gate) will permanently close. All taxis will be dispatched to the curb directly from Lot 2 (the round lot).
The total capacity of Lot 2 and adjacent areas will be increased by about 30 cars. This will be done by a combination of signaling by curbside staff and by new paint and signals which will be installed over the next few months. Paint markings on the road near the payment gates are in preparation for a future expansion of lot capacity and may be ignored for now. By expanding the capacity in and around Lot 2, we will have enough room even on our busiest days. The success of the TaxiVQ app has drastically decreased the amount of space needed for the taxi operation.
Please contact the curbside management office at 650-821-2700 with any questions.
