On Tuesday, March 15, the SFMTA Board of Directors voted to approve the 30 Stockton Transit Priority Project along Chestnut, North Point and Van Ness. This project includes a suite of treatments aimed to improve Muni reliability, reduce transit travel time, and enhance safety for people walking.
The capital improvements approved by the Board were designed through a community-driven process that included several public open houses, presentations at community-initiated meetings, and working closely with Supervisor Farrell's offiice.
The approved project includes the following elements:
Chestnut:
- Parking neutral
- Average stop spacing from 1 to 2 blocks
- Stop optimization at two intersections
- Transit bulbs at five intersections
- No left turn at one intersection
- Turn pockets at three intersections
Van Ness and North Point:
- Transit-only lanes (Van Ness Ave)
- Stop optimization at one intersection
- Bulbs at two intersections
