Visitacion Valley & Portola Transportation Plan
During the project’s early outreach we got a lot of input from Visitacion Valley and Portola communities. We turned this input into a series of potential projects. During our second phase of outreach in s ummer 2022 , we reached over 1,000 residents and collected almost 300 surveys and 250 additional written comments and used what we learned to refine the proposed projects.
On November 30 we will circulate our Draft Plan, which includes:
- Over $25 million in infrastructure projects across Visitacion Valley & Portola
- A concept design for Mansell Street that proposes transforming the median into a community open space
- Policy recommendations for other community needs and challenges outside the scope of the Visitacion Valley and Portola Community project
Now, we’re asking residents to tell us which projects to build first. Please rank these projects in our survey.
To learn more and share your thoughts:
- Attend a workshop
- Review the proposal and then fill out the project survey
- Email the project team
If you have questions or additional comments, you can send an email to VisValleyPortolaPlan@sfmta.com or call 415.646.2022.

SFMTA Updates: Gilman Avenue Traffic Calming
Our office has been working with the MTA to implement traffic calming measures along Gilman Avenue. Here is the latest update from SFMTA:
The intersections of Arelious Walker Drive and Bill Walsh Way on Gilman Avenue are less than 200 feet apart. When the team evaluated both locations, it was decided to implement an All Way Stop Sign at the intersection of Gilman and Bill Walsh Way since it was adjacent to a park and a church with an active daycare. There are also existing crosswalks there, including a PSZ (Painted Safety Zone).
Our Traffic Engineers decided to extend the red zone on the north side of Gilman Avenue, west of Arelious Walker Drive to improve the sight distance for those driving on Arelious Walker Drive, attempting to turn on to Gilman Avenue. Our colleagues will make every effort to continue reviewing the intersection if additional safety measures are needed in collaboration with our Traffic Calming team.
The Traffic Calming (TC) team did receive an application east of Gilman Ave (to Donohue) that currently under the evaluation phase. Depending on paving plans, a new striping plan can be one of the possibilities. Our TC team will work closely with Operations in identifying the most effective traffic calming measures.

SFMTA Updates: 48 Quintara Follow Up
The 48 Quintara/24th Street was moved from 3rd Street to Tennessee Street after seven collisions occurred in the past two years. Every day,transit operators navigate the complex streets of San Francisco. Muni has one of the best safety records of comparable agencies, and we work every day to further improve safety.
SFMTA hopes to resolve community member’s and your frustration by consulting them in assessment of acceptable, safe alternatives, including the existing routing on Tennessee Street. Along with a community survey in January, we will work with community members to ensure that concerns and preferences are reflected in the bus route options and provide feedback on how public input influences the outcome. Technical analysis of possible solutions is underway by SFMTA planners, and we hope to vet acceptable solutions with the community as soon as possible.
Our office will continue to work with the community and SFMTA to come to a resolution for this area.

Holiday Toy Drives
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to attend various Toy Drives throughout the District and San Francisco. At Regalitos 2022, along with Supervisor Hillary Ronen, Assessor-Recorder Joaquin Torres, and Santa Claus, we made sure that all the students at Mission Education Center had toys for the holiday season. In Visitacion Valley at APACC's Annual Toy Drive, we made sure hundreds of families had toys for the holiday season and had an opportunity to take a photo with Biker Santa Claus.

Standing with Workers
I stood with SEIU to support all Gig workers. We knew Prop 22 would hurt workers' opportunity to receive deserved benefits, equitable pay, and fair working conditions. We will keep fighting Prop 22 and its unconstitutionality, because all workers need to have these basic benefits and protections.
When Elon Musk laid off all their janitorial workers from the Twitter headquarters right before the holidays, I stood with the janitors and along with City Officials to urge Twitter to comply with the Displaced Workers Act, to provide opportunities for the janitorial staff and security guards to continue employment. San Francisco is not a playground for wealthy CEO's to break laws and hurt working people.

Breaking Ground for "The Hub" at Sunnydale
We broke ground on another brand new facility in Sunnydale “The Hub”, that will have a Boys and Girls Club, Gym, Childcare, Children and Youth Activities, and Storefronts. A state of the art place for residents and families to enjoy programs and services in this amazing neighborhood. So proud to finally see this coming into fruition and looking forward to the many opportunities that will be provided. We will continue to fulfill promises in the Sunnydale community and make sure we achieve equity for the entire neighborhood!

ICYMI: Interivew on TMZ regarding Killer Robots
I had a chance to interview with TMZ to discuss the bad plan to allow "Killer Robots" as a weapon for law enforcement in San Francisco. SF was heading down a dangerous and slippery slope with this proposal to deploy robots that can use lethal force. I gave examples of ways that armed police robots could backfire. opposing this policy does not make me anti-cop, but pro-people of color. People of color would be disproportionately harmed if these robots were deployed at city crime scenes. Luckily, this policy was duplicated and the part without the killer robots was passed. The part with the killer robots was sent back to the Rules Committee for further discussion. We will keep you posted on this legislation.
