Keep Market Street Moving: Join us at City Hall on November 18
It’s been over two months since the Mayor announced Waymo, Uber, and Lyft Black would be able to pick up and drop off on Market Street. Since the announcement, we’ve observed an unprecedented increase in all kinds of vehicles being driven on Market Street, increasing congestion and making the corridor unsafe for people biking, rolling and walking.
We raised this issue with SFMTA’s Citizens Advisory Council who are calling on the SFMTA Board of Directors to do two things:
- The SFMTA CAC urges the SFMTA Board of Directors to take a public position on commercial passenger vehicles on Market Street.
- To fully realize the vision of Better Market Street, the SFMTA CAC advises the SFMTA Board of Directors to close the loophole that allows commercial passenger vehicles, such as Waymo, Uber Black Cars, and Lyft Black Cars, on Market Street between Steuart and 10th.
On Tuesday, November 18, the Keep Market Street Moving alliance is showing up to City Hall at 12pm to hand deliver 2,500 petition signatures to the Mayor from everyday San Franciscans who want to keep Market Street moving for sustainable transportation, and then at 1pm to give public comment on this issue at the SFMTA’s Board of Directors hearing.
We need strong turnout to show the SFMTA Board of Directors that the CAC’s position has community support, so RSVP to join us and give public comment in support of the CAC’s two motions. If you can’t make it in person, send your public comment in email to MTABoard@SFMTA.com by noon next Monday.
