Warriors of the Waterfront

John King writes about the waterfront, development, and Prop B in SFGate,

Much of the northeast waterfront has been transformed in the past 20 years, buoyed in large part by the city's excessive wealth. Industrial remnants such as Pier 70, though, will require huge private investment - not to "preserve a unique and vibrant vital waterfront," as Prop. B touts itself to voters, but so a dilapidated shipyard can be reclaimed in a way that's accessible and inviting to the public at large.

Grove on the Road performers include The Family Crest, ODC Dance troupe, Instrument ‘petting zoo’ with Magik*Magik Orchestra, and visual arts programs by Trash Mash-up.

Hunters Point Shipyard Artists are hosting Spring Open Studios adjacent to Sunday Streets route, featuring participating artists from 7 buildings, a Pop Up Market, live jazz, a youth art show, and a hands-on art zone for kids. To get to the Shipyard from Sunday Streets by bike, check out this map.

May is national Bike Month, and Sunday Streets will highlight bike-friendly programs and services to encourage emerging, novice, and would-be cyclists ready to roll in preparation for the 20th annual ‘Bike to Work Day’ on May 8. Bike-themed programs include Freedom from Training Wheels and a Family Bike Parade led by the SF Bicycle Coalition (SFBC), free bike rentals by Parkwide Bicycle Rentals, electric bike test rides by The New Wheel (3rd Street/Cargo Way), bike decorating with SCRAP, and the grand opening of Velobrews Café & Cycling Community Center (3rd St between McKinnon and Quesada).

Special programs for older participants will be centered at the southern hub of Sunday Streets route on 3rd Street at Quesada. Senior advocacy and service providers will be on hand to provide information and offer physical activities for seniors, participating groups include On Lok Lifeways, Self Help for the Elderly, NAMI SF, and Bayview Hunter’s Point Multipurpose Senior Services.

Live-work loft evictions in Potrero Hill

From SF Examiner,

Essex appears to be emptying the lofts of the longtime tenants in order to immediately re-rent the units at today’s hefty market rates... But what Essex is doing is legal under both San Francisco’s strict housing rules and state law, said Supervisor Malia Cohen, whose district includes Potrero Hill.

Warriors buy Salesforce site in Mission Bay

There goes the neighborhood!  From SFGate,

The Golden State Warriors have abandoned their plan to build an arena on Piers 30-32 just south of the Bay Bridge and instead have purchased a site in Mission Bay to hold their new 18,000-seat venue, sources close to the deal have confirmed to The Chronicle. 

The Warriors bought the 12-acre site from Salesforce.com for an undisclosed amount in a deal that was inked Saturday night. The team plans to have the arena ready for the 2018-19 NBA season

Participatory Budgeting Vetting Meeting - Where was everyone!?!

Last night was ostensibly THE most important of the three Participatory Budgeting (PB) meetings.  Over the past few weeks, two kickoff meetings were held - one in Visitacion Valley, the other in Potrero Hill - where residents came together, brainstormed, and developed ideas.  Online submissions came in too, resulting in over sixty ideas that were then given an initial vetting by City staff to determine their viability and ability to be funded through this process.  Likely hundreds of person-hours have been spent by City staff and consultants on this already.

So, with sixty-four ideas, you'd think you'd have at least that many people at the vetting meeting last night to advocate for their idea and move it to the next round in the process.  Not so.  Maybe about seven people from Visitacion Valley showed up last night.  Another ten or so from Bayview.  The only person I met there who was from Potrero Hill/Dogpatch was a reporter for the Potrero View.  The rest of the room was City staff, including Supervisor Malia Cohen and Mayor Ed Lee, and the PB consultants.  As we were marking our favorite ideas - the ones that will go on in the PB process to be voted upon - I overheard people asking things like "Where is Franklin Square Park?"  My question is, where were all the people who'd submitted ideas, especially from Potrero Hill, who could answer that question and advocate for funding?  Did people who submitted ideas think that the kickoff meetings were going to be all they had to do?  Did people not realize that they had to come to the vetting meeting last night in order to see that their favorite project got onto the May ballot?

From what I could tell last night, NONE of the Potrero Hill projects will even make it to the vote because NO ONE from Potrero Hill bothered to come down and make a case for them.  The projects that will get funded will all be in Bayview and Visitacion Valley because there were a handful of people from these neighborhoods who made an effort and showed up when it mattered, and it'll be they who end up directing where the money goes.

It's called Participatory Budgeting for a reason, so if you don't participate, don't complain if you are excluded from the budgeting.

Supervisor Cohen and EqualitySF at City Hall

On April 8, 2014, Supervisor Cohen stood with EqualitySF, a group of 2000 Bayview residents and business owners opposed to the proposed shelter at 2115 Jennings, on the steps of City Hall. The group talked to media about the adverse health effects of further concentrating poverty in an impoverished community like BVHP. They also provided documentation regarding environmental remediation required in order for the site to be approved for human habitation, a factor the City of SF hasn’t taken into account or acknowledged. Supervisor Cohen lauded the group for their organized and impassioned actions to date.

Participatory Budget Kickoff Meeting #2 tonight

A reminder that this is ONLY for District 3, 7, and 10 residents ($100K per district).

At the first D10 kickoff meeting this past weekend, ideas that floated to the top were: wrapping utility boxes in art; safety measures for seniors on MUNI; streetscape improvements; shuttle share program in Vis Valley.  Evidently, we're only able to use the web form at http://sfpb.net/ to submit one idea per home address. Despite this, since I had a couple of ideas, I submitted others to the email address provided on the website. The ideas I submitted were:

1. provide initial funding to new community gardens, such as that at the Palou Community Garden 
2. streetscape improvements to Industrial St, including adding new crosswalks at four intersections, bulbouts, pedestrian islands, bike lanes, and stop signs at Revere 
3. expand SFShines to provide grants for facade improvements at neighborhood corner stores, such as Mike's Market on Silver at Revere (Silver Terrace) and Five Mile Market on San Bruno Ave (Vis Valley). 

The next steps for District 10 are:

• Kickoff meeting #2 Wednesday, April 2, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.; California College of the Arts, 350 Kansas Street.  Same format as the one on Saturday in Visitacion Valley, where people will be split into groups and will brainstorm ideas
• Residents can submit their ideas via the website at http://sfpb.net/ until April 15. When an idea is submitted, the City's budget office will go over it and determine whether it is feasible or not within the framework of this program.
• ideas that are deemed feasible will be returned to residents at the vetting meeting on April 17 at the Southeast Community Facility, 1800 Oakdale Ave (6-7:30PM).
• ideas that make it through that meeting will be sent out to residents throughout District 10 to be voted upon. We'll be given a window of time to do it in and the projects that get the most votes (one vote per resident) will be funded.

If you want funds to be spent in your neighborhood, you have to vote. Be prepared to get your neighbors to vote, go door to door if you have to, and help get funds directed your way.

Projects that are funded will get a minimum of $5K and a maximum of $25K. If you have an idea, please submit it to http://sfpb.net/

If you want a second pair of eyes to read through your completed draft before you submit an idea, I'm happy to take a look and give you feedback (that you can use or not as you see fit).
