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

Transportation Sustainability Program June 2016 Updates

After our Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Open House event on May 18th, we invited all of our interested parties to take part in our Transportation Demand Management Neighborhood Survey. If you haven’t done so already, we want you to tell us which sustainable travel options would be effective in your neighborhood. The survey will close on June 30, 2016.

Background Info on Survey
Prior to submitting a development application, a developer may request assistance from Planning Department staff to identify the TDM measures that make sense for their specific project and neighborhood. Planning’s website will also include a document titled “TDM Program Standards” and an online tool to help add points for their selected measures.

Once they’ve selected their measures, the developer will submit their choices along with their TDM Plan Review application. Planning will then work with other City staff to ensure the selected measures appropriately meet their targets and are implemented correctly.

The overall goal of the survey is receive feedback from the public regarding specific measures in the menu of options. In particular, we are interested if any measures would be particularly effective in your neighborhood. We will summarize the information received by neighborhood and provide it in a staff report to the Planning Commission on July 14, 2016. That summary may be useful to individuals and neighborhood organizations when working with developers of projects in your neighborhood.

Please download the menu of options before filling out the TDM survey, available here.

More Updates
