This Week: Final Open House on Redesigning Polk Street

The SFMTA will unveil its final proposals for a redesigned Polk Street this Wednesday -- don't miss this chance to weigh in. The SFMTA Board of Directors also meets to go over the recommended service adjustments in the Muni TEP, and SPUR discusses how big data is shaping transit policy.

Here are this week’s calendar highlights:

    • Tuesday: Listen in on a SPUR lunchtime forum on how the growing body of data on transit use allows experts "to make smarter decisions about transportation investments and operations while greatly improving the experience for travelers." 12:30 p.m.
    • Wednesday: Don't miss the final open house for Polk Street's redesign. SFMTA staff will present details and collect feedback on the final proposed street configuration and "public realm enhancements such as lighting, landscaping, bulbouts and alley improvements." 5:30 p.m. In preparation, the SF Bicycle Coalition's Central City Committee will discuss the plans Monday (tonight) at 5 p.m.
    • Friday: The SFMTA Board of Directors  holds a special meeting to consider staff-recommended changes to Muni lines as part of the Transit Effectiveness Project. 8 a.m.
