This is what it looks like to (finally) get the job done! Congratulations and gratitude to the hardworking @SFMTA_Muni staff and everyone—and I mean everyone—who stepped up to get Central Subway across the finish line. Incredible celebration at today’s ribbon cutting.
Thank you @DeanPreston for your comments tonight on Vision Zero, the urgency of the climate crisis, and the spot-on reframe that while it may feel like a lot of changes happening now, that's because for years we've put off the street improvements we need to be a livable city.
At last! SF Board of Supes on the right side of history with tonight's 7-4 vote to create a permanent car-free route through Golden Gate Park. Huge thanks to the hardworking staff at @sfmta_muni@RecParkSF@sfcta@jeffreytumlin@philginsburgsf
On time and on budget. A 38R that's 20% faster with the quick build alone. A blind resident who can cross Geary safely for the first time in years. So much to celebrate at the ribbon cutting for the Geary Rapid Project this week. Huge thanks to the hard working @sfmta_muni staff!
"Mayors of cities understand intuitively that the same actions that will help us to achieve our climate goals and bring down that carbon pollution, they also just make their cities better places to live," said @NRDC's @aeaken. https://t.co/0MBdt1dWTt
I can't believe we even have to debate whether to let cities factor in the safety of people walking and biking. Thankfully @GavinNewsom is a former Mayor and understands the importance of safe streets to thriving cities. Please #SignAB43 @laurafriedman43 https://t.co/qb7VhxkBLy
We're expanding the Free Muni for Youth program so everyone 18 and under can ride Muni for free, no application required.
For some people the financial burden of a Muni ride is small, but for youth and families with kids, these costs add up. https://t.co/bO6Fl8Aaib
Two years ago, we set an ambitious goal of adding 20 new miles of protected bike lanes. We've met and exceeded that goal.
We're making long-term changes and short-term fixes, and working to make San Francisco a city where it's safe and convenient to bike.

1/ The Republican infrastructure "Roadmap" is a status quo alternative that would lock in rising GHG emissions and ensure slower economic growth—needlessly prolonging the pain of the coronavirus-induced recession.
Congress needs to pass the AJP.
