Hey, remember a few days ago, when we posted about how Muni sends out street-closure notices to reporters, but the notices also serve as handy little events calendars? Well, thanks to a well-placed tipster, we now have a better idea of just how rigorously Muni compiles the damn things. Their calendar of closures goes out NINE YEARS to the year 2016.
Well, actually, Muni's only tracking one event that far into the future: the SF Marathon. We can't believe the dates have already been set for the next decade's worth of running, but see for yourself after the jump!
Some people may claim that this is not particularly newsworthy. To those people we say, oh go jump in a lake.

Amusing tidbit. The federal gov expects transit agencies to use buses procured with federal money to be in service for twelve years. Muni expects procurement to take two years, and budgets a fourteen year life expectancy for the diesel buses (18 and 20 years respectively for the electric ones).
Like those new hybrids? The last buses we bought form them (those thirty footers) were costing us $25,000/vehicle because the frames were cracking (this was as of 2005).
Or how about the $15 million budgeted to fix safety problems with the Breda LRVs (almost $2.5 mil was budgeted to avoid trapping people in the doors... oops)?
that's funny- they forgot to list the impact to Muni of closing the Castro for Halloween.
Oh yeah, Halloween isn't happening this year. . .
MUNI is confident that, by 2016, there is a 50-50 chance the Castro Halloween issue will have been resolved.
My prediction - all this Halloween excess is a pretty recent thing, really. I don't recall grownups getting serious about Halloween until the 80's.
By 2016 I predict that the Halloween fad will have passed, and Sukkot will be the mass drunken debauch of the fall season.
