Don't Give PG&E a License to Burn

Dixie. Kincade. Paradise. Camp. More than 1.5 million acres burned, and towns decimated. One hundred thirteen Californians killed.

As activists have put it, if Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) were an individual and not a corporation, they would be behind bars for the preventable deaths and devastation they have caused. PG&E’s negligence has continued to contribute to our worsening climate crisis and cause devastating wildfires. If we think San Francisco doesn't need to worry about PG&E’s negligence, we would be wrong.

While San Francisco’s community choice aggregation (CCA) program, CleanPowerSF, has helped our City move away from the monopoly PG&E holds, we still rely on the company’s aging distribution and transmission lines to deliver our power.

PG&E's role in recent state wildfires will have a lasting impact on our air quality and health. No one will, nor should, forget the day the sky turned orange in the City from a wildfire many miles away. Our state leadership can and must do better to prevent these devastating and completely preventable wildfires.

Last week, advocates urged Governor Gavin Newsom to hold PG&E accountable for the deadly, expensive, and devastating failures of the utility. Environmental justice organizations explained how PG&E's safety certificate is a "License to Burn" at the Government Audit and Oversight Committee. My resolution urging action by the Governor received unanimous support by the committee and will be voted on by the full Board next week.

As the Affordable Housing Production Act advances through the Board of Supervisors, I am pleased to announce I have five additional co-sponsors of the measure, including my colleagues President Shamann Walton, Supervisors Aaron Peskin, Dean Preston, Hillary Ronen, and Gordon Mar. The Affordable Housing Production Act will help us meet our affordable housing needs while supporting our local workforce development and upholding high construction and labor standards.

Health Updates & Resources

The COVID-19 vaccine is now available for children ages 6 months to 4 years. Most families and caregivers will be able to access vaccines for this age group through their health system providers, pediatricians, and select pharmacies; individual providers will begin outreaching to their patients directly to book appointments. For a list of vaccine sites, go to: sf.gov/getvaccinated.

San Francisco is running extremely low on doses of the monkeypox vaccine (Jynneos) with some sites already out. SFDPH has urgently requested additional allocations of Jynneos from federal supplies and will receive additional doses next week, however, well below the 35,000 doses we have requested. The Board of Supervisors is urging our state and federal agencies to accelerate purchase and distribution and reduce barriers to treatment.

For more information on monkeypox in SF, including case counts, vaccine locations and health guidance, go to: sf.gov/monkeypox.

Outside Lands Returns August 5 - 7

The Outside Lands music festival is scheduled to take place the weekend of August 5 - 7, 2022. The Recreation and Park Department has been working closely with Another Planet Entertainment and other city agencies to address traffic flow, road closures, and so forth. If you have any inquiries before the festival weekend begins related to road closures, site restrictions in Golden Gate Park, or other general concerns, please send an email to community@sfoutsidelands.com.

As Outside Lands has done in years past, the event will have a Community Hotline to respond to any issues that may affect you during the festival. The hotline number is (415) 965-8001 and will be available:

Thursday, August 4
10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Friday, August 5 - Sunday, August 7
10:00 am - 11:00 pm

To help alleviate vehicle congestion, Outside Lands strongly encourages festival attendees to take alternative means of transportation to the festival, including Muni, private shuttles, biking or walking.

The event will have two dedicated tow trucks and one Parking Control Officer on each side of the Park to quickly respond to any blocked driveways or any other parking issues related to the festival. SF Rec & Park has printed signs alerting attendees to not block driveways, which may be obtained at the front desk of SFPD Richmond Station at 461 6th Avenue. If you need to have a vehicle towed, please call 311.

Muni Service Updates

Starting July 9, Muni has continued to expand its service and implement the 2022 Muni Service Network plan as resources allow. The 2022 Muni Service Network plan was developed with public feedback, prioritizing:

Linking neighborhoods in our Muni Service Equity Strategy to essential destinations like hospitals, food hubs and neighborhood commercial corridors
Adapting to changing travel patterns
Getting the most out of the Muni system and system-wide improvements

Changes taking place on July 9 focus on restoring and extending bus service to pre-pandemic routes.

The 2 Sutter will come back with a modified route between the Ferry Plaza and the Jewish Community Center food hub. For service to Clement Street, customers can take the 1 California, which travels one block north of Clement Street.
The 6 Haight-Parnassus will come back with its full pre-pandemic route.
The 21 Hayes will come back from St. Mary’s Hospital to Grove and Hyde Streets near the Main Library. Customers can take any of the routes serving Market Street for downtown service.
Other modified or extended bus routes include the 23 Monterey, 28 19th Avenue, 43 Masonic, 49 Van Ness, 52 Excelsior, 57 Parkmerced, 58 Lake Merced and 66 Quintara.
Due to changing trip patterns, the L Taraval Bus will also be shortened to run between the SF Zoo and West Portal Station with increased frequency every 8 minutes on weekdays and every 10 minutes on weekends. Customers can connect to the Muni Metro for downtown service at West Portal Station. This change comes as a high number of L Bus riders are already choosing to transfer to the Metro for a fast ride downtown. This allows the SFMTA to increase L Bus frequency and redirect some additional resources to reduce crowding on other routes.

Muni 將於7月9日擴大巴士服務

Muni將繼續擴大服務，並在資源允許的情況下實施2022年Muni服務網絡計劃。2022年Muni服務網絡計劃是根據公眾反饋意見而制定，重點是：

將Muni服務公平戰略中的社區重要目的地連接起來，例如醫院、食物中心和社區商業走廊
適應不斷變化的出行方式
最大限度地利用Muni系統，并且改進整個系統

7月9日進行的服務變更重點是恢復和擴大公車服務路線到疫情前的狀態。

2號巴士重新恢復，但路綫有更改，將走Sutter街，往返於渡輪廣場 (Ferry Plaza) 與猶太社區中心 (Jewish Community Center)的食物中心。前往Clement街的服務，乘客可以在California街搭乘1號巴士，就在 Clement街北邊隔壁街
6號巴士重新恢復到疫情前的路綫
21號巴士重新恢復，由St. Mary’s 醫院到Grove和Hyde街附近的三藩市總圖書館，前往市中心的乘客可轉搭Market街沿綫上的公車
其它更改和擴大的巴士路綫包括23號、28號、43號、49號、52號、57號、58號和66號
由於出行方式的改變，L 巴士也將縮短路綫，只往返三藩市動物園與 West Portal站之間，同時增加班次，平日每8分鐘一班，周末則是每10分鐘一班。乘客可在West Portal站轉搭Muni地鐵前往市中心。改變的原因是很多搭乘L巴士的乘客已經選擇換乘地鐵快速前往市中心。此舉可讓三藩市交通局增加L巴士的頻率，並重新分配一些額外資源，以降低其它路線的擁擠狀況。
