Attention Members of the SFMTA Board:
HVSafe supports the recommendations put forth by SFMTA for the re-calibration of a closed street programming for the 400 block of Hayes; we find it to be a good approach to establish a level of success for activating this street closure.
We want to underscore that throughout the entirety of the street closure on Hayes (including the closures on the 500 and 300 block) we’ve been advocating for a fair and equitable process. Our concern has always been that the process for a program that was rolled out as temporary during a pandemic was never clearly defined. In our view defining it now after three years of programming is a sound goal. We appreciate having a seat at the table the last few months while working with SFMTA, the Mayor’s Office and the Office of Small Business.
Thank you.
HVSafe
