As part of the Muni Forward: Rapid Network Improvements project, crews from the SFMTA will continue working on adding a red surface treatment to the existing “transit only” lane on Geary Boulevard and O’Farrell Street for the 38 and 38L Geary bus routes. The newly painted red lanes will facilitate motorists to distinguish the “transit-only” lane. This project is anticipated to complete in mid-June of this year.
The paint work began on Geary Street from Powell Street and ending at Gough Street, while keeping clear of the ongoing construction for the CPMC Hospital between Van Ness Avenue and Franklin Street. Painting of O’Farrell Street, between Powell and Gough Street, will follow afterwards.
The work hours are between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.
During these work hours, bus stops will be relocated. Customers are advised to pay attention to notices at the affected bus stops. SFMTA personnel will be onsite to direct passengers of any changes. Customers are advise to plan extra travel time due to the construction work.
ONGOING WORK: M Ocean View Line Rail Rehabilitation Project
As an ongoing effort to maintain the infrastructure in a state of good repair, SFMTA will replace the aging tracks on the M-Ocean View Line on San Jose Avenue between Geneva and Niagara avenues.
Construction work hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Work has begun and is estimated to last for six weeks.
