Richmond Review

City's Budget

Every June, the mayor presents the Board of Supervisors with a proposed budget for approval. This year, as a member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC), my colleagues and I spent the month of June scrutinizing line items, questioning department representatives, and hearing from the public and service providers about their needs.

This year, a priority for the Board was to restore millions in funding that the mayor had cut for neighborhood health and COVID-19 resource hubs; food security programs, particularly for seniors and other vulnerable populations; and shelter for women and children. In addition, my priorities included restoring funds for critical community-based services across the City, particularly in the Richmond District. Read on for more details in my Richmond Review column here.

District Updates

Last month, the Transportation Authority Board approved funding to study how our transit agencies can improve transportation in the Richmond District. Earlier this year, I requested a comprehensive study to better connect our District and make it safer for cyclists, pedestrians, and transit riders. The study will engage our community to identify and analyze mobility challenges and develop near- and mid-term strategies to improve transit reliability and pedestrian and bike safety.

Read more in the TA’s blog and stay tuned for future community meetings.

MLK Drive Opening

Starting today, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and Recreation and Park are announcing that MLK Drive between Chain of Lakes and Sunset has officially opened to cars. The new traffic pattern will allow those driving south on Chain of Lakes to turn left onto MLK Drive and make their way to Sunset Boulevard.

This change is aimed at alleviating congestion and creating a smoother southbound driving trip from the Outer Richmond.
