Dear Neighbors and Community,Â
I hope you are all doing well!Â
I wanted to make sure you are all aware that there is a new Bayview Station Captain; Captain Michael Koniaris. My office will be sure to keep you updated on any community meetings and merchant meetings with Captain Koniaris.Â
As you may be aware, Vision Zero parking enforcement efforts will be taking place with a focus on illegal parking creating inaccessibility for pedestrians. The tentative dates for D10 are the week of 7/28, 10/27, 2/9/25, and 4/27/25. Regular enforcement will still continue throughout the year.Â
Heading into June, I want to wish everyone a Happy Juneteenth and encourage you all to come out and celebrate. I hope to see you at one of the following events!

As always, if you have any questions or matters concerning District 10, please email my office at waltonstaff@sfgov.org.Â
