The SFMTA proposal to re-route the 35-Eureka bus up/down Diamond Street with buses turning around Glen Park Station using Wilder, Arlington, Bosworth and Diamond Streets is a really bad idea. If this change is adopted, a new bus will pass up/down Diamond and circle the village 72 times a day! It will create more noise, congestion and negatively impact public safety as both pedestrians and automobiles will have to contend with buses and trucks loading/unloading at Canyon Market. Ultimately it will lower our quality of life and it will definitely hurt our property values.
The Eureka line already connects to the 52-Excelsior on Diamond Street and this line goes directly to Bart! Riders on the 35-Eureka who wish to go to Bart only need to wait 2 minutes in Diamond Heights and they can transfer to the 52-Excelsior, so Muni already has the solution in place.
There's no logical reason to overlap and duplicate a route which is already serviced. Adding another bus line makes no sense at all and it will make everyone's trip to the village and up or down Diamond Street a nightmare. Buses turning around using Wilder, Arlington, Bosworth and Diamond Streets will make traffic in the village dreadful.
Please sign this petition if you agree that the changes to the 35-Eureka line should NOT be adopted.
