SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — There was outrage on Wednesday among residents and business owners over proposed traffic changes in the West Portal neighborhood of San Francisco.

Around a hundred people rallied outside an SFMTA feedback session. The agency is proposing the changes after a recent crash killed an entire family.

“I’m sick to my stomach about it!” said Lavive Kiely.

West Portal Protests Grow : There are at least 5 sites, with letters and or protests against the New SFMYAi plan for West PortalThe are coming from a wide range of San Francisco residents and business people who are fed up with SFMTA
Including Muni passengers, who will be forced to disembark and switch vehicles at the West Portal Station.

The Design: from the SFMTA web site. https://www.sfmta.com/reports/west-portal-station-safety-and-community-space-improvements-proposed-design with a survey, more maps and photos of “street art objects” Note that MUNI passengers will also be impacted by the new design that will force them to disembark and change vehicles at the station. Not sure how this improves their safety, but, that is the plan. SFMTA does not discriminate. They ignore everyone equally.
