New Year, New Proposals

It’s 2024, the final year I will serve as your Assemblymember. We’ve accomplished a lot since I first became your representative in 2012, and I want to close my term out with even more meaningful legislation.My priorities will continue to be education, housing/homelessness, transportation, expanding opportunities for all Californians, fighting climate change, and other pressing needs. However, I would like to hear your ideas on legislation I should propose. Please attend my next Town Hall to share your ideas and feedback.

Hello from the Frida Kahlo Way Quick-Build project team!

Thank you for your interest in this project. We’re pleased to share some updates on this project going into the new year.

Project Outreach Summary 

Thanks to all who attended our open house event on December 5th or otherwise provided their input on the project in 2023. We’d like to share a summary of project outreach activities that the team underwent during the 2023 calendar year as well as a look ahead to 2024. This document gives an overview of the team’s outreach process and the key themes that we heard from you.  

Next Steps

In early 2024, the project team will continue public outreach while refining the proposed design to respond to feedback received in 2023. In particular, the team will engage directly with the City College student body to better understand concerns expressed by student body leadership at the December 5th open house.  

Design work will be focused on finding creative solutions for preserving as much on-street parking as possible while prioritizing safety for people walking and biking. The team will additionally continue coordination with City College around construction phasing to determine near-term design impacts on the Project. 

Following design changes and additional public engagement, the project team intends to advance the project through the legislative process. A revised project proposal will be made available for review online and the team will provide an email update to the project contact list. A virtual engineering public hearing will provide another opportunity for the general public to express their opinions on the Project. The Project will then be subject to approval by the SFMTA Board of Directors, who will take final public comment before considering project approval and other next steps. 

Thanks for your interest in this project! If you have additional questions or comments, please reach out at FridaQB@SFMTA.com
