@sbjinsfo Thank you Sarah! It was a huge team of dedicated SFMTA-ers who made this happen. Not to mention the amazing advocacy of @fast_safe_geary and many others.

@BikeBlogChris I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe @sfpublicworks allows sidewalk stickers like these....

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

I like this graffiti (on Piedmont Ave in Oakland)

NBD, that's just me with the Geary Rapid core team, the Mayor, and other VIPs celebrating Geary Rapid's on time on budget completion! It was fun to see how excited the Rosa Parks kids were to be a part of the celebration with distinguished alum Mayor Breed!

The Geary Rapid Project will improve one of San Francisco's busiest corridors with new safety ehancements including, upgrades to our bus lanes, traffic signals, crosswalks, and sidewalks--making our corridors safer for pedestrians and faster for people using transit.

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@zdeutschgross @sfmta_muni Thanks to all the SF Transit Riders who spoke up about how these lanes have improved your trips!

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@andrew_i_am It's in the transportation code section 601 https://t.co/JJb9UBUx2d

3.5 miles of Geary are going red right now! That's a 20% increase in SF's total red lane mileage! https://t.co/poVTb8HkL1

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@catrope yes they will be red all the way to Market!

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@kclightrail @christofspieler done!

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@chrisarvinsf the lanes are blushing red 😄

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@mariotanev @sfmta_muni the 50-75% figure is for 33rd-Arguello - there are the limits where we made Geary TETL improvements (including transit lanes, wooden bulbs, and leading transit intervals). The transit lane was only installed for a subset of those limits.

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@FamilyTransitD1 @sfmta_muni @SFTRU I just want to clarify, the Geary TETL project does not include transit lanes in the Central Richmond. The Geary Boulevard Improvement Project (second Phase of Geary BRT) which will launch outreach later this year and hopefully seek approvals early 2022 will.

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@mariotanev @sfmta_muni Implementing the rest of the Geary Boulevard Improvement Project upgrades (transit lanes through Central Richmond, bus bulbs, stop optimization, signal re-timing) will certainly help!

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@FamilyTransitD1 the plan is for the lanes to go through the Central Richmond as well!

@skip_sf @sbuss right. i wasn't around then, but i agree the planning process was a mess.

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@sbuss A side-running transit lane is much better than a general purpose travel lane. Like the article says, we saw 20% improvement in travel time east of Stanyan when we installed in late 2018. The existing lanes will be colored red beginning this summer which should help even more.

[Liz Brisson @lizonthebus]

@sbuss The EIR analysis found pretty similar transit travel time and reliability performance between center and side running alternatives. The lack of bus passing lanes plus the overall short length of the center running segment upped the cost way more than the benefit
