New stop sign at Congo and Hearst

Your District 7 Participatory Budgeting dollars at work: SFMTA approved a four-way stop at Congo St and Hearst Ave a while back, a result of our 2017 grant from the PB program, but it was just installed this week. Thanks, SFMTA — and thanks, Dept of Public Works.

Have your say: Environmental study for Balboa Reservoir housing project

Next Tuesday Oct 30, there is a public meeting to discuss what options are to be studied in the environmental impact review (EIR) process for the Balboa Reservoir housing project. Nothing can be built in future that wasn’t studied now, so the scope of the review is critical.
