Hey San Franciscans, we can do a lot better to make our city safe for everyone by re-designing our streets. We cannot undo the recent tragedy in West Portal; we can learn from it and rebuild our neighborhood. Help make change with this survey survey.alchemer.com/s3/78077…
.@SecRaimondo will lead an important discussion with executive perspectives at our National Child Care Innovation Summit later this week, hosted in partnership with @CommerceGov and @USChamber.
After a crash in San Francisco’s West Portal neighborhood killed a family of 4, city leaders are planning major changes to the area where it happened.
“I’m going to make sure that we do something to make it safer,” said Supervisor Myrna Melgar. trib.al/OGRA1iF
You can help get the planned improvements approved and installed by signing the original petition that called for these improvements now at actionnetwork.org/letters/we….
Signing the petition takes only a few taps and less than a minute and you’ll make a real impact! Please share 🔁🙏
SFMTA has announced plans to improve the West Portal Station area — with support from Supervisor Melgar and Mayor Breed — following our related grassroots campaign with over 1,000 supporters!
This will make the area safer for all people. Full statement at docs.google.com/document/d/e…

S.F. plans to dramatically redesign streets at site of deadly West Portal crash
Closing the intersections nearest transit hubs (e.g. West Portal, Church/Duboce, 4th/King, 4th/Townsend, Embarcadero/Market, 9th between Irving and Judah, etc.) to car traffic would make our city instantly safer while also helping more people shift trips to public transportation.

This is a thread about why I believe in the future of San Francisco and why I’m starting The Westsider, a weekly newsletter. The media attention is on the doom loop, tech layoffs, and the downtown commercial real estate downturn.
As an aside, @parul_sehgal writes in the @NewYorker this week that we’ve come to expect everything of storytelling - even saving San Francisco. Her piece is very much worth reading. And I’m going to raise my hand as firmly on the side of storytelling.
So, if you want to learn more about the incredible people who have created the restaurants and businesses that bring beauty, newness, kindness and community to San Francisco, I hope you’ll sign up to meet many of them in The Westsider at thewestsidersf.com
