April 7, 2026
Attention SFMTA:
See closure conditions for this past weekend:
Friday April 3, 2026
Saturday April 4, 2026
Conditions were consistent with previously documented patterns, including:
- Continued unpermitted vendor activity
- Ongoing commercial use of the public right-of-way without visible authorization
- Persistent lack of enforcement and oversight
On Friday evening, a scheduled event (“movie night”) took place at Parcel K while the adjacent closure area remained largely inactive. On Saturday, a recurring vendor event occupied the closure footprint, reflecting continued use of the public right-of-way for organized commercial activity without clear and consistent application of permit standards. These conditions create an uneven operating environment for adjacent leaseholders and small businesses.
These are not new observations. They remain ongoing and unaddressed. While efforts to characterize routine documentation of public street conditions as harassment have been rejected, the underlying conditions persist.
Continued operation of this permit is difficult to justify. The agency has both the authority and responsibility to act. Accordingly, consistent with our prior correspondence, we again call on the SFMTA Board to revoke Permit No. 1316522.
This correspondence has been edited for clarity and conciseness. Routine greetings and contact details have been omitted; the substance of the communication remains unchanged.
