Parking Rule Change

November 22, 2024 by San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency

You’ve probably heard about Assembly Bill 413, the “Daylighting Law” passed by the California legislature last year. It prohibits parking within 20 feet (about one car length) of any crosswalk in the direction of approaching traffic. The law was passed to improve safety at intersections, especially for pedestrians. I’m writing, because starting Monday, Nov. 11, […]

Public Land and Private Profit

May 28, 2019 by Heather World

Fenced off and closed to the public earlier this year, the re-graded Kern Street parking lot behind Pebbles Café on Diamond Street includes about 1,700-square feet of city land, giving the family that controls the lot 27 percent more space to charge tenants for parking. That changed Tuesday in response to three months of inquires […]

Notes on the Quarterly Glen Park Association Meeting, July 26, 2018

August 4, 2018 by Bonnee Waldstein

DIAMOND/BOSWORTH INTERSECTION UPDATE First up was Britt Tanner, senior engineer with the Sustainable Streets program of SFMTA. She came to speak about the recent Diamond and Bosworth signal update. “I’m going to try and stay clear of history,” she said lightheartedly – and preemptively. Changes to the troubled intersection began in 2015 and are focused […]

Hit and run crashes on Chenery Street

July 22, 2018 by Elizabeth Weise

Two recent hit and run crashes on Chenery St. are reminders that the dangers of driving don’t end once you’re parked. Certainly cars in San Francisco are sideswiped all the time, whether from people losing control on tiny roadways or simply traveling too fast on surface streets. These usually result in a smashed sideview mirror or […]

Saturday’s Glen Park Greenway Work Party is Cancelled.

“I’m very sorry to say that
we have cancelled our Work Party for this Saturday July 12, along with all organized volunteer activity on the Greenway until further notice.
As you may have read in the news, our fiscal sponsor, San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA), has shut itself down. Just as SFPA has shut itself down, the Greenway, as an organized part of SFPA, has also been “shut down.” We are busy looking for a suitable alternative fiscal sponsor that is willing to replace SFPA. That search is going well but it is a slow process. We had hoped to find temporary ways to enable the Greenway project to function responsibly as a community activity without a fiscal sponsor. Sadly, despite our best efforts and the help of many others in Glen Park, we have failed. That is why we must cancel our Saturday Work Party and discontinue future work parties and other organized volunteer activity on the Greenway (like weeding and watering) until further notice. We recognize that the Greenway is public open space and that the organizers of the Greenway project have no control over the activities of you or of anyone else on the Greenway. However, if you do venture onto the Greenway to satisfy your urge for outdoor recreation, please be aware that your activity is not in any way organized or sanctioned by the organizers of the Glen Park Greenway project. I’m well aware of the efforts that many of the
Greenway’s supporters are making to get the Greenway organized with a new fiscal sponsor and I’m confident that this will be arranged within weeks or perhaps a few months.
However long it takes, I will contact you with news of our progress.
Many thanks for all that you do for the Greenway.”

Nicholas Dewar, volunteer Project Director

Wonder what’s stopping just organizing it separate from that non-profit. It seems like the volunteers largely come from Glen Park.
