These proposed modifications are being presented for MTA Board approval so that these upgrades are included in upcoming paving or other construction projects anticipated to be advertised or begin construction in late 2015. The SFMTA conducted door-to-door outreach along 11th Street and Bayshore Boulevard to specifically discuss the proposed traffic and parking modifications, and bus stop changes between May and August 2014.

Project Description: The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), in cooperation with the City and County of San Francisco, is working to improve escalator durability and security at station entrances/exits along Market Street leading to the underground Embarcadero, Montgomery Street, Powell Street, and Civic Center/UN Plaza station concourses. The existing entrances/exits consist of variations of side-by-side stairs and escalators leading down to the underground concourse level, and are currently uncovered and exposed to inclement weather and discarded trash leading to frequent breakdowns of the existing escalators. The proposed improvements would include the installation of canopy covers over the entrances/exits, as well as replacement and refurbishment of existing street-level escalators. Each protective canopy would also be equipped with a motorized security grille that would lock at the sidewalk level of the station entrance/exit when the stations are closed.
