 Dear Friends and Neighbors, By now, you should have received your ballot for the November 2020 Election in the mail. It’s crucial we all vote not only at the national level for President and Vice President, but at the local level in our own districts. We need more equitable representation across the board at every level. Educate yourself about candidates and ballot measures to choose what is best for you and your family.I’ve heard from many of you about the Twin Peaks Auto Care lease extension and the St. Ignatius lights. Thank you to all who have shared their thoughts on these issues. I’ve heard you and will keep your comments in mind as these issues again come before the Board. Today is the LAST DAY to fill out your 2020 Census. If you haven’t yet, please go to my2020census.gov today to make sure SF gets the resources we need. The deadline is 11:59pm tonight. And, don’t get complacent about COVID-19, please keep wearing your masks, washing your hands and watching your distance around others. Sincerely, Norman ___________________________________________________ In this newsletter you will find information about: Continue reading “D7 Covid Update from Supervisor Yee – Oct 2020” |

Balboa Reservoir Project Approved by SF Board of Supervisors
This week the San Francisco Board of Supervisors gave the final approval for the Balboa Reservoir Project, the housing development planned for the Upper Balboa Reservoir located south of Sunnyside next to City College. The project will have 1100 units of housing, including 550 units of affordable housing, about 100 market-rate houses, 150 units for educators, a central two-acre park, childcare facilities, a community room for public use, and other features. View slides from the Design Standard and Guidelines (PDF) at the end of this post.
The approval marks the end of a five-year-long process that encompassed regular community engagement. SNA and Sunnyside residents regularly participated in meetings of the Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee. The committee was initiated in 2015 by President Norman Yee, supervisor for District 7 where the site is located.
