Proposes a change to city law: Changing Division I of the Transportation Code to make nonsubstantive organizational changes to the provisions governing the Interdepartmental Staff Council on Traffic and Transportation and remove outdated provisions concerning the temporary use of streets for school uses.
Ordinance amending Division I of the Transportation Code to make nonsubstantive organizational changes to the provisions governing the Interdepartmental Staff Council on Traffic and Transportation and remove outdated provisions concerning the temporary use of streets for school uses; amending the Administrative and Fire Codes to update cross-references; and affirming the Planning Department’s determination under the California Environmental Quality Act.
How it got here
This legislation originated from a need to streamline the process for temporary street use permits in San Francisco, prompted by the PermitSF initiative and previous ordinances.
Mayor Lurie introduced the ordinance to amend the Transportation and Administrative Codes to authorize the Director of Transportation to approve temporary street use permits and certain street closures.
The Planning Department determined that the actions contemplated in the ordinance comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The committee reviewed the ordinance, duplicating it from File No. 260294 to address broader issues related to Article 6 of the Transportation Code.
The Board approved the original ordinance (File No. 260294) which included provisions for temporary street use permits.
Mayor Lurie signed the original ordinance into law, which will become effective on June 20, 2026.
The committee amended the duplicated ordinance (File No. 260449) and continued it for further consideration.
The ordinance is scheduled for final passage in the Board of Supervisors meeting.
