Last month we joined Transportation Authority Board Chair Peskin, sister agencies SF Public Works and SFMTA, and community leaders to celebrate the ribbon cutting for the Broadway Chinatown Streetscape Project: a long-time effort that began with the community's vision for a safer, more livable neighborhood. Improvements include a reconfigured roadway to calm traffic, new concrete sidewalks, freshly planted trees, new bus shelters and curbside bus bulbs, new pedestrian-scale lighting, and decorative crosswalks and benches.
The Transportation Authority was pleased to provide about $10 million of the total $15 million project cost from San Francisco's half-cent sales tax for transportation, along with local vehicle registration fees and One Bay Area Grant funds from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
