Newly appointed supervisor, Christina Olague visited the board meeting on January 18, 2012 to introduce herself and to take the pulse of her community. She listed a few of her priorities as: public safety, jobs, delivery of mental health services, improving the ability for new restaurant owners to open businesses in commercial areas, public housing challenges, and Western Addition/Fillmore project funding needs.

The conversation continued to allow participants to interject their concerns.

Some of the topics addressed were Parklets, Street Tree Maintenance, Quality of Life Issues, Civil Sidewalk enforcement, and SFMTA’s plans to put bike traffic on Oak St.

Supervisor Olague will appear at the HAIA members’ meeting on February 15.

She also said that she would try to stop by the Alvord Lake Volunteer group on January 28 between 9am-noon. (All are invited to help. Meet at the Golden Gate Park entrance at Stanyan Street.)

Please join us at the Urban School at 1563 Page Street on February 15 at 6:30pm. Annual membership dues will be accepted at the meeting.
