So, taraval street is getting a long overdue renovation for the first time in 40 years. Since were completely rehabilitating the street, we want to put it back together in a way that addresses key issues for Pedestrian Safety and for our transit reliability.

Thousands of surveys, hundreds of emails, doortodoor outreach, popup open houses at stops and a range of other Outreach Strategies to stay connected. After over a year of thorough community outreach, we brought a proposal to the board last year that delivers big safety and transit reliability improvements to taraval street. The key features that the board approved are boarding islands and pedestrian bulbs to make taraval a safer place for riding and transit. We have train prioritis to help all taraval riders to get where theyre going faster. Twice as many key stops. So, Wheelchair Accessible s...
