More on T-Third and Muni Metro
Friday’s Chronicle has an update on the T-Third / Muni Metro story. Muni is prioritizing I-280 traffic ahead of transit riders:
Officials have decided not to use a special traffic-signaling system that gives streetcars priority to move through the Fourth and King intersection. They fear that would create a major tie-up for vehicles heading off of and onto Interstate 280 down the block, said Muni spokeswoman Maggie Lynch.
But I-280 traffic or not, are the efforts to speed the trains through Fourth and King, Embarcadero, Castro, etc. making a difference? Comment here.
If you’re planning to ride, check NextMuni before you go to your stop.
Pursuant the City/County Charter “transit first” policy the Muni officials should be prosecuted. Additionally, IIRC they are chargeable for misdemeanor “obstructing Muni”.
Because of the difficulties, I started a petition online. The petition can be found at – http://www.petitiononline.com/SFMuni/petition.html
