A full season of Sunday Streets starts this weekend! Check out the upcoming schedule below.  

Sunday Streets 2023 is here, featuring three community parties, two signature mile-plus routes and the Third Annual Phoenix Day block party program.

The 15th season will kick off on Galvez Avenue and Mendell Street in Bayview on May 21 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Residents and visitors alike will celebrate the neighborhood's vibrant diversity with cultural programming, health resources, local vendors and recreational activities for all ages. It is completely free and open to everyone!

Each neighborhood's character makes the experience a distinct adventure. As the streets come alive with music, dance, and community spirit, SFMTA project experts will be on hand with updates and information on various transportation options.

In partnership with Livable City and Into The Streets, the SFMTA proudly supports this series of events that empower communities to transform their streets into car-free community spaces. The Sunday Streets program creates temporary open spaces and recreational opportunities in neighborhoods that typically lack such resources. It encourages physical activity, fosters community-building and inspires people to reimagine their streets as vibrant public spaces that everybody can enjoy.

Sunday Streets encourages alternative modes of transportation such as public transit, biking, walking or rolling. Leave your car behind and join the movement toward greener and healthier ways of getting around.

150 Years Ago Today – The Cable Car is Born

150 Years Ago Today – The Cable Car is Born By Kelley Trahan August 2, 2023, marks the 150th anniversary of the world’s first successful cable railway, born right here in San Francisco. To celebrate the occasion, we bring you the story of Andrew Hallidie and the very first cable car company, the Clay Street Hill Railroad.  Andrew Hallidie (1834-1900) was a pioneering inventor and entrepreneur who changed urban transportation. In 1852, at the age of 18, Hallidie emigrated with his father from the United Kingdom to San Francisco during the California Gold Rush. His father, an engineer and inventor, had a wire rope patent that played a crucial role in his son's future success.   Portrait of Andrew Smith Hallidie in 1890. Inspired by his father's wire rope business, Hallidie developed a steel cable mineral mine hauling system in 1857. About a decade later, he designed a wire rope aerial tramway for transporting materials over mountainous terrain. Then, after a stint in bridg...

Fare Inspection Reimagined

Fare Inspection Reimagined By Kimberly Burrus As Muni’s Transit Fare Inspectors return to service, the SFMTA is excited to share a new approach that we have for how we will check for fare payment and interact with our customers. Rather than focusing solely on enforcement, the priority will shift to helping customers comply with fare policies. To support this new approach, our Transit Fare Inspectors will be returning over multiple phases this fall and they will have a new look. At the beginning of the public health emergency, Muni fare inspectors took on disaster service worker duties, but Muni never stopped collecting fares. Muni customer fares provide approximately 20% of our revenue and we depend on fares to provide transit service. A Transit Fare Inspector models their new uniform. Phased-in Return This week Muni fare inspectors have joined SFMTA’s larger ambassador program to provide customer assistance throughout the system. This is the start of the phased-in process for M...

Shared Spaces are Here to Stay. Permit Renewals are Due January 15, 2023.

Shared Spaces are Here to Stay. Permit Renewals are Due January 15, 2023. By Anne Yalon Shared Spaces, amongst many other benefits, allows our residents and families to enjoy safe and social outdoor dining. Seen here are the the owners of Tio Chilo’s Grill and their children in the restaurant’s parklet on 24th Street in the Mission.  San Francisco’s popular Shared Spaces program allows merchants, restaurants and arts and culture organizations to use the curbside, sidewalk and other public spaces to conduct local business activities and stay afloat. What emerged as an economic lifeline during the pandemic is making San Francisco’s streets more energized, engaged and activated. Many of the Shared Spaces parklets have become central gathering places for the local community. “ Our parklet makes me feel like when I go to Mexico, where outdoor seating is everywhere. People end up joining their friends in our parklet. It is a space for our customers and our community," said Liz V...
