Transit Effectiveness Project
Summary: In the first week of March 2008 the City-sponsored Transit Effectiveness Project (TEP) announced that
its draft service and route proposals are available for public review.
The block from North Point St. to Beach St. on Polk St. is a very steep hill. The 19 Polk bus currently comes down
the hill and stops in front of the senior center at Polk and Beach Sts.
The TEP proposal makes the bus come North on Polk St. and turn East on North Point St., or come West on North
Point St. and turn South on Polk St. The bus would not come down the hill to Beach St.
Many people receive services from the Aquatic Park Center, the senior center in the Maritime Museum in Aquatic
Park. Many of these people depend on the 19 Polk bus to access the center and would lose access to if the
proposed changes take effect.
This includes disabled people and people who just aren't strong enough to navigate the hill.
People who visit the Maritime Museum and Aquatic Park also rely on this bus. The bus feeds the west end of the
Beach St. Commercial district and Fisherman’s Wharf.
Please send emails to Britt Tanner at SFMTA and Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier,.and ask them to please save
our bus stop. A suggested letter is here.
