Director Cajina said she has concerns about parts of the proposal that are still in the planning phase. She said she had the same concerns when a similar proposal was brought to the board by the Breed administration. Cajina had voted no on it.

After dozens of speakers spoke out against the policy, it's now back to the board, who will most likely have questions for SFMTA and HSH staff.

Just to clarify, the SFMTA board is taking up for consideration to establish what's called the Large Vehicle Refuge Permit Program, which exempts permittees from the two-hour limit.

Crews are completing the transit-only lane along the M-Ocean View rail line. I reported on it for The Ingleside Light. Kirschbaum added that the condition of the road did not lend itself to being painted red, but will be included during repaving work.

Kirschbaum report: The Assembly and Senate passed a state budget that includes a $750 million loan to Bay Area transit agencies until revenue streams in from a regional ballot measure and a potential local measure. She said it's good news, but not the final budget deal. Awaiting Newsom's signature.

I don't think so. Board approved reinstating all three and then there will be a post-evaluation.

What is also in the story is how the governor's proposed budget will affect the SFMTA. Funding is at risk for the agency's project to replace its antiquated train control system in the Muni subway.
