The work will include constructing bus and pedestrian bulbs, repaving the roadway, upgrading traffic signals, planting approximately 50 new trees, and painting existing transit lanes red. Construction will primarily occur at intersections, with multiple locations worked on simultaneously to reduce the overall project duration. The improvements are expected to last through early 2028. --- ### Press Release: San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency *Published November 9, 2026. Reproduced in full from the [San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency](https://www.sfmta.com/blog/more-transit-and-safety-improvements-are-coming-geary-boulevard).* #### More Transit and Safety Improvements Are Coming to Geary Boulevard *We are making more improvements to your Richmond neighborhood ride beginning next month.* Your Muni ride along Geary Boulevard in the Richmond District is getting even safer and smoother. We are returning to the corridor to continue the work of the [Geary Boulevard Improvement Project](http://www.sfmta.com/Geary). We completed the [quick build phase](https://www.sfmta.com/project-updates/week-december-18-2023-one-step-closer-better-geary) of the project in 2023. Since then, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has installed new sewer and water pipes and fiber optic conduits along the corridor. Now, we are wrapping up the project. Upcoming work on Geary Boulevard between Stanyan Street and 32nd Avenue begins in early December and will include: - Constructing bus and pedestrian bulbs - Repaving the roadway - Upgrading traffic signals - Planting approximately 50 new trees - Painting the existing transit lanes red Construction will happen primarily at intersections. But work is planned to be at multiple locations at one time in order to reduce the overall project duration. As segments of the corridor are completed, we’ll schedule repaving. This way, the impact on individual businesses and residents is shorter than if we were to work along the entire corridor all at once. [Our detailed maps and drawings](https://www.sfmta.com/project-updates/geary-boulevard-improvement-project) illustrate the project’s key features. And work is expected to last through early 2028. *Our upcoming transit and safety improvements are intended to make Geary Boulevard more welcoming and comfortable for everyone.* We also are talking with nearby residents and businesses about what to expect during construction. Highlights of that outreach are: - [Our business support program](https://www.sfmta.com/project-updates/supporting-small-businesses-geary), which includes a merchant-directed campaign - Ambassadors going to businesses closest to the upcoming bus bulb-out construction areas to let merchants know what types of work to expect - Signs posted in active construction zones - Email updates on upcoming construction schedules - Social media and newspaper ad campaigns #### Ask questions during our office hours The Geary project team will be at [Joe's Ice Cream](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Joe's+Ice+Cream/@37.7806111,-122.4802999,894m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x808587111cb72b91:0xedf8ad179e117fa5!8m2!3d37.7806111!4d-122.477725!16s%2Fg%2F1tg3bb58?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MTEwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) on Nov. 17, 2026, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to answer your questions.
