Voting starts on Friday May 31 for District 7 residents age 16 and older for the 15 Participatory Budgeting Projects selected as finalists, including one supported by SNA for benches at the MUNI bus stop at the northwest corner of Monterey and Gennessee (in front of Won Kok Restaurant). 

Although there is no limit to the number of projects that residents can support, only projects that receive a minimum of 400 votes will get funding, so it’s important for as many of Sunnyside’s residents to vote as possible.

Access to the online voting portal is available here, with voting open on Friday May 31:
