Traffic Calming planned for Flood Ave

On By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn Pedestrian Safety, SFMTA, StreetsLeave a comment

In response to a request from the residents on the 400 block of Flood Avenue (between Foerster and Gennessee) SFMTA will be installing two sets of speed humps, approved a week ago at the SFMTA Engineering Hearing.

From SFMTA Engineering Agenda Mar 5 2021.

Read more about requesting traffic calming for your block here. Although the multi-step process for requesting and receiving such traffic-calming measures usually takes a period of many months, even years, the program is open to all residents.

The current request period closes at the end of June, and due to Covid-19, all usual requirements for petitions/signatures have been waived. If you would like to see the traffic on your block slowed down, this is an excellent opportunity.

Sunnysider Perla Villa has started a small food pantry at the corner of Flood and Detroit–along with items like books for children–to help anyone in need. Perla does food rescue as her job but often has leftovers that she shares with neighbors.

Her friend Suna Mullins says: “Perla’s grandmother did a lot of volunteering with food pantries and food distribution. Perla grew up in her grandma’s house, raised her kids in it, and now it is nice to see she is carrying on the same generosity her grandmother had. I know all this because we’ve been friends and neighbors since elementary school.”
