Early implementation: In order to improve pedestrian safety and transit reliability

immediately and before any physical construction takes place, the SFMTA will be

46th/Ulloa(inbound&outbound).Thestopsinbothdirectionsat17thAvenuewerealso
approved for removal, but the SFMTA Board gave staff direction to further review the
inboundstopbeforegoingforwardwithremovingit.
Perpendicular Parking: The SFMTA Board approved the proposed perpendicular
parkingtobeimplementedalongSantiagoandUlloaStreets.However,ourofficehasasked
SFMTA staff to immediately conduct a parking assessment along Taraval Street to see
