SFMTA: Stop Extension of 38 Geary Bus Stop at 48th Ave & Geary Blvd!
Help stop the proposed extension of the 38 Geary bus stop into the intersection at the northwest corner of 48th Ave and Geary Blvd in front of Sutro Heights Park.
Why is this important?
The proposed 20-foot extension of the 38 Geary bus stop into the intersection at the northwest corner of 48th Ave and Geary Blvd in front of Sutro Heights Park is bad for the neighborhood for many reasons, including but not limited to the following:
1. Makes safely crossing the street (48th Ave) on the north side of the intersection (where there is no stop sign or crosswalk) impossible and much more dangerous for pedestrians
2. Impedes access to Sutro Heights Park for neighborhood residents, children, dog walkers, and recreationalists
3. Will reduce parking spaces in the neighborhood for residents and visitors
4. Increases the potential for accidents at the intersection (where there is no stop sign and a history of accidents with MUNI) as buses will be pulling out from a parked position into a 90-degree direct left turn onto 48th Ave
5. Passengers will now catch the bus in the middle of the intersection where there is no stop sign or crosswalk and be dropped off in the same place, which is very dangerous (what about wheelchair or handicapped passengers?)
6. Increased congestion, noise, and litter at the intersection
The proposed bus stop extension does not improve our neighborhood. It will endanger pedestrians, motorists, and bus passengers at the intersection, and impede public access to Sutro Heights Park.
Please sign this petition if you are in agreement to oppose the extension of the 38 Geary bus stop prior to the Engineering Public Hearing at City Hall on February 2nd, 2018 at 10 am when the issue will be heard. Thank you for your support.
