The Board of Duboce Triangle Neighborhood Association meets every other month. At the September 2021 meeting, we discussed the following:
Board Function
Discussed expectations and interactions of fellow volunteers.
Website Migration
Website content is being updated and customized where needed. The Board approved transferring the membership list from the Treasurer to DTNA President Kimyn Braithwaite which will facilitate extracting membership data for migration to Wild Apricot.
Land Use Updates
The Board voted to endorse the goals and intent of the Friends of Harvey Milk Plaza initiative, but at this time not endorse any particular design, but wanting to stay involved with the process and informed of any major updates or changes in design.
DTNA is still pursuing traffic calming for 14th Street between Castro and Sanchez. At this time Noe Street is not on the SFMTA’s list of permanent Slow Streets. UC Berkeley students will be researching Duboce Triangle and how it could become more pedestrian-friendly.
A letter of support for the Maitri Mural has been sent to the SF Arts Commission.

Castro LGBTQ Cultural District COVID Testing & Vaccination Initiative
The Board voted to be a sponsor of this initiative that has been very successful in getting COVID shots into arms and people tested. It has been held recently every Saturday on Noe Street, but because of objections to the street closure by local businesses, a new site in the Upper Market is being sort.

The Historic District Initiative funding was discussed and has covered expenses to date. Payments for the online migration of DTNA to the Wild Apricot platform were approved.
