The Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit project is designed to bring rapid transit services to the thoroughfare from Mission Street to Lombard Street.[1] Dedicated bus lanes for the 47 Van Ness bus, 49 Van Ness–Mission trolleybus, and Golden Gate Transit are to be constructed along the median with {{convert|6|in|mm|0|adj=mid}} side platforms at stations for boarding and alighting passengers away from the curb.[2] Additionally, underground water and sewer replacement and landscaping will take place on Van Ness Avenue. The project is estimated to be completed in Fall 2020.[3]

History

Van Ness had previously hosted trolley service in the form of the H Potrero streetcar line starting in 1915. The trolley poles used for that service were deemed too deteriorated to be retrofitted for modern use.[4]

Muni had planned a transit corridor improvement project on Van Ness since 1989 as part of the Proposition B sales tax expenditure plan.[5] The transit expansion part of the expenditure plan formed the basis of the 1995 Four Corridor Plan by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA), which planned for rail expansions along four priority corridors including Van Ness.[6] The corridors included the Bayshore Corridor which became the T Third Street Muni extension, and a proposed rail line along Geary Boulevard which ultimately became the Geary Bus Rapid Transit project. The third corridor to North Beach was implemented as the Central Subway project. The Van Ness corridor was considered to be phase four of these four corridors and was to be implemented last, beyond the twenty year planning timeline of Proposition B. Ultimately, however, Van Ness BRT broke ground before the Geary Boulevard improvements, which had a higher priority in the plan, were approved.

By 2003, neither improvements in the Four Corridor Plan for Geary nor Van Ness had materialized. With the Proposition B sales tax expiring in 2010, a new sales tax was proposed in 2003 as the Proposition K ballot measure. The ballot measure, which was passed by the voters, specified an expenditure plan that included bus rapid transit on these two corridors.[7] The SFCTA began to formally plan the project after the passage of Proposition K in 2004, with a completion date planned for 2012.[8] However, the project was delayed and the project finally broke ground in 2017 with a completion date planned for 2019.[9] Issues encountered during construction delayed the completion date further to 2020.[10] By January 2019, the timeline for completion had again slipped to late 2021.[11]

Controversy

There has been much community backlash pertaining to the change in traffic patterns and loss of parking along the corridor.[1] Concerns that trees would be removed were met with plans to plant more trees on the route.[4]

The use of low platforms with a high-floor buses has been criticized as bus rapid transit creep.[2]
