This work is essential to keeping Muni in a state of good repair and will provide pedestrian and street improvements. The construction dates have been coordinated between both the Church & Duboce and Carl Street projects to minimize inconvenience to residents, businesses, and will only impact four working weekdays.
Traffic detours as well as bike detours for the Wiggle, the Steiner/Sanchez route and the connector route between the Wiggle and Market Street will also be in place.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition will be leading commuter convoys along the N and J lines for each workday morning of the shutdown (May 29-June 1). See full bike train schedule at www.sfbike.org/transit.
