San Francisco’s Spine

Van Ness Avenue is the backbone of civic life in San Francisco and one of the most important thoroughfares connecting the region. This project will make the street accessible and enjoyable for everyone through:

  • The City’s first Bus Rapid Transit system, a globally proven solution to

improve transit service and address traffic congestion.

  • Utility maintenance including repaving the street and replacing water and

sewer systems to ensure reliability.

  • Public improvements like more efficient street lighting, new sidewalk lighting

and landscaping.

The BRT Network

To make it more efficient for over 200 million annual customers to travel on our most heavily used routes, we are creating a network of high- capacity rapid transit that prioritizes frequency and reliability. Planning for additional Bus Rapid Transit routes is already underway.

Except for northbound at Lombard and Hayes, and southbound at Broadway, left turns have been eliminated from Van Ness Avenue. This change will:

  • Improve north-south circulation
  • Improve safety for people walking

NOTE: The left turn northbound at Hayes is temporary and will be eliminated in April 2017.
