Heads up riders! The street I run on, Geary Boulevard, is undergoing surgery over the next two years to install new sewer and water pipes. During periods of construction, some bus stop locations will be temporarily relocated. Give yourself a few extra minutes when you notice construction!

I’ve been excited to run faster since I got my Geary Boulevard Improvement Project quick build “speed lift” last year, but my riders got left standing in the rain when some of my bus shelters disappeared. ☔️

📢 BUS SERVICE IS FASTER THAN EVER AND THE MAIN REASON IS TRANSIT PRIORITY LANES 📢

Huge thanks to Anthony and his fellow SFMTA paint shop workers who did the paint work for the bus stop relocations between 1 and 6am yesterday morning! The new paint looks amazing and smells like...transit priority.

It was great to hear London Breed connect the approval of the Geary Boulevard Improvement Project to new housing on the Westside in her Transit Month speech today. We need a fast, reliable, and efficient transit system for all our neighbors, new and old!

Study after study has found that retailers overestimate the number of their customers who drive, and underestimate walking, biking, and transit. So when cars are reduced on shopping streets, merchants are often pleasantly surprised by the boost to sales.
