Chesa Boudin's Office released the 2021 Annual Report of the San Francisco District Attorney's Office on March 3, 2022.

All current DTNA Members have been changed to a one-year payment schedule. Any member who wishes to maintain an auto-recurring payment schedule should contact membership@dtna.org so that status can be continued.

When auto-recurring payments were enabled at the time of rolling out the new online membership program in November 2021, the intent was to offer members that option. However, that made auto-recurring payments the default payment method without the option of a default single year payment schedule. Stopping auto-recurring payments was possible, but without an obvious pathway. This created confusion which has been addressed by creating separate single year and auto-recurring payment membership levels. No other membership change has been made. Bundle memberships remain.

F line motorized bus service starting Tuesday, Feb. 22 through Saturday, March 12 

The SFMTA, in partnership with the Department of Public Works, will be substituting motorized buses for the full F Market & Wharves historic streetcar route for three weeks, starting Feb. 22 through March 12. During this time, F Line service will be modified to accommodate construction activities for the Upper Market Safety Project as well as other essential track repair and maintenance elsewhere on the rail corridor. Published service hours and frequencies should not be affected. 

The agencies have worked closely together and with the contractor to minimize overall service disruption to the F line while completing essential work for Upper Market's improved traffic signals, medians, and streetcar stops. Originally planned for April, we were able to move up to between the Chinese New Year and St Patrick's Day celebrations. This is a critical milestone to reach for Upper Market to stay on track for completion ahead of PRIDE month, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time!

Individual F line stops to be closed temporarily for construction through spring 

Within Upper Market there will also be temporary closures of individual streetcar stops to support construction activities, including the installation of decorative MUNI railings. Temporary closures will occur on a rolling basis starting February 22nd through spring 2022. Most stops will be affected for spproximately one week with the exception of eastbound Dolores and westbound Laguna stops, which will be the first affected since they have more extensive work planned.

Signs and notices will be posted in advance of each stop closure to alert the public and suggest alternative routing for the closest available F Line stops.   

Upper Market Phase 2 work continues

The contractor team is working to finish underground sewer work at 15th/Sanchez and 16th/Noe in preparation for above-ground sidewalk and traffic signal work later this spring. Please note in order to maintain the project schedule crews will continue to work on Saturdays for the next few weeks.

ADA upgrades to Pink Triangle Park - including a new crosswalk with curb ramps across 17th and more accessible sidewalk path-of-travel to the MUNI elevator - should be completed in the next week or so.

You can join DTNA, pay your Membership Dues and Advertising Fees online. Dues reminders are now sent by email and not by postcard, unless a member does not have an email address.

Bundle Memberships, what are they?

Bundles allow two people in the same household to become voting DTNA members for one fee, starting with the new Household level for $50.00, but also for all Patron, Angel and Superstar members.

Auto-Recurring Dues Payments is enabled at all voting membership levels. Members can stop recurring payments from their Wild Apricot member profile page when they have a pending invoice. To do so, before paying the invoice, click the Invoices and payments tab in member profile and then click Stop recurring payments button beside the membership renewal transaction. 

Pending Member Status

When a Dues Payment Invoice is sent, a member's status is changed from Active to Pending until the renewal fee is paid. A member cannot change Membership Level until the Invoice is paid. Membership Level can only be changed when in Active Status. Selecting a new Level will generate a new Invoice. If the new Level has a higher fee, contact the membership manager so that a credit for your recent payment can be applied to you new invoice before you pay it.
