Ingleside merchants and residents and transit activists were given dedicated space to vent about the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s Ocean Avenue transit-only lanes project at a town hall organized by Supervisors Myrna Melgar and Chyanne Chen.
The Saturday morning meeting, held at the City College of San Francisco’s STEAM Building, was conducted by a professional facilitator to allow participants to constructively share their opinions about the K-Ingleside Rapid Project’s most polarizing component: transit-only lanes.
The SFMTA Board of Directors approved the lanes, which would stretch along the avenue in both directions from Junipero Serra Boulevard to Lee Avenue, in March 2024. A few weeks ahead of the scheduled installation in mid January, the Ocean Avenue Association, a nonprofit organization authorized by City Hall to clean and maintain the corridor, organized opposition.
