Dear Neighbors,  

 

I want to share 5 updates with you:

 

1. Thank you to everyone who filled out the short survey to provide your perspectives on the City's proposed plan for upzoning. DTNA's Land Use Committee met Monday July 14 to review the in-person and online feedback from neighbors, and is currently working with the DTNA board to understand the survey data so we can create a letter to SF Planning and our Board of Supervisors that incorporates neighbors' perspectives as they finalize upzoning plans for our City.

 

2. A few of us on DTNA's board met this week with the folks at SFMTA to get an update on the Duboce Triangle Slow Streets Study.  The new timeline for community input in the process will take place in the Fall of 2025.   No scenarios will be presented before everyone has had a chance to share their lived experience of walking, biking and driving through our neighborhood.  From there, they will combine our input with the data they are collecting around traffic flows, and then come back with scenarios for us to provide further input in the Spring of 2026.  Stay tuned for details on when, where and how you can be informed by and help inform our colleagues at SFMTA.

 

3. Our bi-monthly newsletter is out!  I hope you have received it at your doorstep.  You can also find it on our websitehere. I want to thank the many volunteers who deliver the newsletter throughout the Triangle.  THANK YOU!!!!

 

4. Mark your calendars for Castro Merchants' next block party on Noe Street on Saturday August 23 from Noon to 5PM, complete with games, prizes, activities, entertainment and more!

5. And finally, I want to let you know that esteemed long-time board member, Robert Bush, is retiring his position on DTNA's board after years of extraordinary service.  As sad as I am to see Bob go, he has introduced us to someone who has agreed to join us on the board to fulfill Bob's 2025 term: Mitchell Woodrow, a DTNA member residing on Beaver Street. Mitchell is going to lead our membership and marketing efforts and will serve out Bob's term through December of this year.   I look forward to celebrating Bob in the coming months!

 

As always, reach out with any questions at president@dtna.org.

 

Warmly,

 

Jon Moscone
