500 Hayes Street – Shared Streets – Request to Cease Closure/Re Open

Update Wednesday July 14, 2021Throughout the petition process our coalition faced a series of challenges which are outlined below. In January in tandem with the Hayes Valley Small Business Association (HVSBA) we opened an inquiry on the permit approval process with SFMTA; as a result we found a staggering lack of transparency had been applied (for a program that has been under the guise of temporary). After voicing our overall concerns with what had transpired and pointing to several just …
