Drivers can reserve spots up to six months ahead at 16 of the city's 22 publicly owned garages. The agency says city-run garages are generally 30-40% cheaper than private lots, and the city offers flat-rate event parking at its Civic Center and Performing Arts garages. SFMTA notes that reservations are not available at the 16th & Hoff and Pierce Street garages or the Kezar Lot, and they will soon be available at the Japantown, Portsmouth Square, and Music Concourse garages.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Land Use and Transportation Committee held a hearing Monday to discuss the possibility of extending the Central Subway from its current Chinatown terminus to North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf. "The primary focus" should remain on pushing through two upcoming operations-funding measures for transit, explained District 3 Supervisor Danny Sauter, who sits on the committee. "But we also need to give people something bigger and better to keep our city excited about what's next."
Christopher White, the current head of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, got his start in advocacy 20 years ago when an inattentive driver turned left in front of him on Arguello, sending him careening into the windshield. Since then, Arguello has remained on San Francisco's high-injury network. A teenager was badly injured there in 2022. Cyclist Ethan Boyes was killed on Arguello by a drunk driver in 2023.
