We the undersigned oppose the portion of Muni's Transit Effectiveness Project (TEP) to extend the route of the #27 Bryant bus on Leavenworth Street to turn left onto
Vallejo Street for a terminus at Van Ness Avenue. This unnecessary change will be detrimental to the character of our residential neighborhood which already has a high level of Muni service. The neighborhood is now served by # 1, 10, 12, 19, 27, 41, and 45 buses and the Hyde Street cable car. This change is not an efficient use of
Muni resources to increase ridership and improve service.
We support more efficient and sensitive alternatives to this proposed change in the TEP such as having the # 27 Bryant bus continue to turn left onto Jackson Street with a new route on commercial Polk Street to Vallejo Street for a terminus at Van Ness Avenue. This specific alternative would not disrupt the residential character of our neighborhood and would be more likely to increase ridership and improve service with better links to a commercial corridor, Polk Street.
Therefore, we ask Muni to protect our residential neighborhood and better use its resources to increase ridership and improve service by refining the TEP to use an alternative like the one listed above with Polk Street instead of unnecessarily extending the route of the #27 Bryant bus on Leavenworth Street to Vallejo Street.

I am honestly speechless looking at how many people have joined this effort. This momentum is entirely yours and it shows that our neighborhood cares deeply about preserving its character.

This neighborhood is well served by MUNI. Please do not add more noise and pollution on Leavenworth. I've lived on Leavenworth all my life and we get enough noise from speeding drivers at Leavenworth and Broadway (2way stop).
Stop the reroute of the 27 Bryant all it will do is add more confusion and unnecessary traffic to the area. There are already a number of existing bus lines that could be used instead of creating new bus lines where parking is limited
the last thing the intersection of Polk/Vallejo needs is another bus line through it. Already a very congested intersection and another bus line through it would not be beneficial for child/pedestrian/biker safety.
New route will cause safety issues. Already have better public options with existing routes. Does NOT solve the problem of adding ridership to increase funds for MUNI
What isn't being mentioned is how many of the private shuttles, i.e. Presidio Go, party buses, are already using Vallejo Street. We can't handle any more congestion.
The intersection of Vallejo and Polk is already dangerous enough. We don't need to add Muni buses to that location.
Unneeded - ridiculous waste of money.

Drove current 27 route on Jackson and proposed Leavenworth Vallejo option and it is too disruptive for Leavenworth and very bad for residents on the Vallejo St.
