Have your say: Slow Streets in Sunnyside
[UPDATE Dec 19, 2020: Survey closed. See the results of the survey here.]
SFMTA’s Slow Streets program aims to make more socially distanced, covid-safe outdoor space available in neighborhoods, and has been implemented in many other areas of the city. The program has yet to come to a street in Sunnyside, Ingleside, or any other south-central district. For the next phase of the program, Sunnyside’s Hearst Avenue was chosen. Hearst is already the bicycle route through the neighborhood, which coordinates with the Slow Streets program aim of encouraging non-car use of the street.
Right now, SFMTA is taking your feedback about Hearst Ave. as a choice for the program. To learn more about what this would mean for the neighborhood and to give your feedback via a short survey, visit this page: https://www.sfmta.com/projects/slow-streets-outer-mission

Sunday November 22nd marks the kickoff for the Detroit Steps Project online art competition and fundraiser. Participants can draw on a downloaded or a paper copy of the Detroit Steps. All submissions will be considered for conceptual designs towards the official tiling of the Detroit Steps. Inspiration and details here.
Local residents and art enthusiasts will be picking up markers and crayons starting on November 22nd and have until December 6th to submit them. An adult and a child winner will be selected through an online voting process by the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association members.
