From Supervisor Norman Yee: District 7 Newsletter — Fall 2016

District 7 Newsletter — Fall 2016

Yee-June2016Dear community members,

I wish everyone a happy fall and election season! This is a very important presidential election year and I encourage everyone to vote by or on Election Day, November 8. Here is more information from the SF Dept of Elections on voter registration deadlines, dates and in-person and by-mail voting. Here are the government links to all 25 local ballot measures and 17 state ballot measures.

In particular I’d like to highlight three local measures on the November ballot:

  • Prop E–Street Trees: City to take back responsibility for street tree maintenance
  • Prop I–Dignity Fund: creating dedicated funding for seniors and adults with disabilities
  • Prop L–SFMTA split appointments: establishing more balance and diversity on the SFMTA Board

Included below are brief updates from my office about legislation going through the Board of Supervisors’ legislative process:

As usual included are updates on construction projects and community announcements.

Remember to vote by November 8, Election Day!

Best,

Norman

The agenda will include a representative from SFPUC about the sewer modernization program, a representative from the ballot initiative ‘Housing Not Tents,’ and a representative from SF Housing Action Coalition speaking about the Affordable Housing Bonus Program. Some of these are contentious issues, and we hope you will bring your questions.

We will also be discussing the recent injury collisions on Monterey Blvd, and how we can make positive changes for increased safety on our main street.

Many new members have joined SNA over the previous months — but we have also had many new followers of this blog — people who are interested but who aren’t yet members. We invite you to come to the meeting and join SNA — and be a part of community-building in our neighborhood. (You can also join online here.)

Where: St Finn Barr Auditorium, 415 Edna Street at Hearst

When: Monday Oct 24th

Time: 7:00 – 8:30 pm

Light refreshments served. We’ll hold a raffle — prizes from local merchants and more.

 

SFPUC: Have you adopted a drain yet?

Rain is upon us. Several corners in Sunnyside regularly get flooded when debris flows down with rainwater and then builds up in the storm drains. The SFPUC has a program to keep storm drains clear this rainy season with your help — its called Adopt-a-Drain.

You can sign up here: https://adoptadrain.sfwater.org/. More info below. Continue reading “SFPUC: Have you adopted a drain yet?”
