The cost of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency installing red lanes on parts of Ingleside's Ocean Avenue appears to be mounting, at least politically.

More than 50 merchants and residents gathered with public officials in Golden Coast's side dining room on Monday evening to express opposition to the K Ingleside Rapid project's transit-only lanes. The meeting was organized by a new chapter of Chinatown Merchants United of San Francisco dedicated to the Ocean View-Merced Heights-Ingleside neighborhoods and formed in response to the red lanes.
