July 30, 2025 Attention SFMTA: Here are the closure conditions for this past weekend:Friday July 25, 2025Saturday July 26, 2025 This marks 33 consecutive weeks of outreach to you. At this stage the continued purpose of this closure is, frankly, bewildering to say the least.

SFMTA ISCOTT Hearing for Hayes Valley Head West Event – 4th Date

June 25, 2025 Dear SFMTA & ISCOTT: We are writing to formally oppose the proposed 4th event date for Head West in Hayes Valley.
