Attention SFMTA:
{36th consecutive week} See street conditions for this past weekend:
Friday August 15, 2025

On Friday, we recorded video of traffic congestion at Octavia & Hayes involving a Flywheel taxi stalled at the barricade. This continues to underscore the ongoing harm and dysfunction directly caused by the closure. On Saturday, as has become routine, a men’s clothing (SIGNATURE) tent was once again operating within the closure zone. This repeated vending activity (permitted by Andrew and Lloyd) is preferential treatment that stands as a slap in the face to every lease payer and small business in Hayes Valley. No visible permit, no process, no accountability. (We will be sending a separate communication regarding this matter.) The pattern is clear: week after week, the closure remains underutilized, disruptive, and in violation — and we know full well you will do nothing and continue to allow the faux promenade.
