On average, a person walking along Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Richmond district is injured in a traffic collision once every month. Likewise, as riders will attest, the neighborhood's 38 Geary bus service can be overcrowded and unreliable. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's (SFMTA) Geary Boulevard Improvement Project, the second phase of the Geary Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), proposes safety and transit reliability improvements between 34th Avenue and Stanyan Street. While originally envisioned with center-running bus lanes, the SFMTA has evaluated recently completed improvements from the first phase of the project, listened to feedback received from the public, and is now proposing side-running bus lanes adjacent to parallel parking. The project is currently in its second round of public outreach to seek feedback on specific detailed design items. This week's "Online Briefing for Faith Leaders," hosted by the San Francisco Interfaith Council, will provide an overview of the project proposals, details on next steps, and an occasion for the public to pose questions and offer feedback.
