By Calvin Welch, HANC Board

This November’s election was held in the new Supervisor districts created earlier this year which divided the Haight-Ashbury into three districts: 1 precinct in District 1, 7 precincts in District 5 and 5 precincts in District 8. The three sub areas of the neighborhood used in previous "How the Haight Voted" presentations--the North Panhandle (from Fulton to Fell, Stanyan to Baker ), the Flatlands (Oak to Frederick, Stanyan to Baker) and the Hills (Frederick to 17th, Stanyan to Upper Ashbury)--will continue to be used, but the precincts have been reconfigured. For example in the Hill precincts, three previous precincts have not only been re-numbered but also combined into a single new precinct (9802) that includes streets on the west side of Stanyan and are now part of District 8. Our neighborhood now has 1 precinct in the North Panhandle in District 1 (9147), 5, all except 9803 in the Hills in D8 (9802-06) and 7 precincts (9501-06) remaining in the North Panhandle and Flatland precincts ( where 9803 now sits). Thus under the new precinct lines there are four precincts in the North Panhandle, five in the Flatlands and four in the Hill precincts.

Planning for the Haight-Ashbury Public Realm Plan began in May, 2011 when HAMA (Haight Ashbury Merchant’s Association) presented its ideas to then-supervisor Mirkarimi and the Planning Department. Meetings were held with community groups during 2011 and 2012, and various public meetings were held from 2012 through 2016. The plan evolved into a partnership between SFMTA and the Department of Public Works. Ground was broken in September, 2018, and the project was completed in June, 2021. Although there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony in July, 2021, this might have been missed, as it was early in the City’s reopening from the Covid pandemic, and the numbers were again rising.

The project included sewer upgrades, traffic signals, curb ramps, sidewalk replacement, pedestrian lighting, and street repaving.

We would like your thoughts on the Public Realm:

--What changes have you noticed on Haight Street since 2018?

--Which of these changes do you like?

--Which of these changes do you dislike?

--Were you disrupted by the street work? If so, how?

--Was the final result worth the disruption?

--What else should have been done?

--What was done that should not have been changed?

--Do you have any other thoughts or comments about the Public Realm?
